Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What type of chair is required in each resident's room?

1. At least one chair for each bed, excluding folding chairs

2. Rocking chair

3. Recliner

4. Folding chair

The correct answer is: At least one chair for each bed, excluding folding chairs

In each resident's room in a nursing home, having at least one chair for each bed, excluding folding chairs, is required. This regulation ensures that residents have a designated seating area for themselves or visitors, promoting comfort and social interaction within the room. Rocking chairs, recliners, and folding chairs are not adequate as the sole seating option in a resident's room as they may not provide the necessary comfort or functionality required for daily living activities.
