Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

How many visits to potential alternative placements must a resident be provided with prior to removal when the department needs to remove a resident from a facility?

1. 1 visit

2. 2 visits

3. 3 visits

4. 4 visits

The correct answer is: 3 visits

A resident must be provided with three visits to potential alternative placements prior to being removed from a facility. This requirement is in place to ensure that the resident is given multiple opportunities to explore and evaluate different placement options, and that their rights and preferences are taken into consideration before any decisions are made. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the required number of visits and may not allow the resident enough time to make an informed decision. Providing only one or two visits may not adequately address the individual needs and preferences of the resident, and four visits may be unnecessarily burdensome and may not demonstrate good faith efforts to find the best possible placement for the resident. Therefore, option C is the best and most accurate answer.
