Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Who must be on a facility's quality assessment and assurance (QAA) committee?

1. At least the DON, the Medical Director or a physician designated by the facility, and 3 other staff members

2. The CEO, CFO, and DON

3. The Medical Director, head nurse, and facility manager

4. Three nurses and one physician

The correct answer is: At least the DON, the Medical Director or a physician designated by the facility, and 3 other staff members

The correct answer is A. It is essential to have at least the Director of Nursing (DON), the Medical Director or a physician designated by the facility, and three other staff members on a facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) committee. This composition ensures a multidisciplinary approach to quality assessment, including input from medical, nursing, and other staff members who are directly involved in resident care. Options B, C, and D do not represent the recommended composition for a QAA committee as they do not include the necessary variety of perspectives and expertise to effectively assess and assure the quality of care provided in a nursing home setting.
