Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Where should a copy of the notice of a resident's right to appeal a transfer or discharge decision be placed?

1. In the facility's office

2. In the resident's medical records

3. In each resident's admission folder

4. In the administrator's office

The correct answer is: In the facility's office

A copy of the notice of a resident's right to appeal a transfer or discharge decision should be placed in the facility's office. This ensures that it is easily accessible to both the resident and staff members involved in the decision-making process. Placing it in the facility's office also aligns with regulatory requirements for transparency and accessibility of important documentation. Placing it in the resident's medical records or admission folder may not provide easy access to all relevant staff members involved in the process. Additionally, keeping it in the administrator's office may limit accessibility to other staff members who may need to refer to the notice.
