How long should the original medical records and court orders or other documents (such as POA) be retained following a resident's discharge or death?

  1. At least 1 year

  2. At least 3 years

  3. At least 5 years

  4. At least 10 years

The correct answer is: At least 5 years

Medical records and court orders or other documents should be retained for at least 5 years following a resident's discharge or death. This is because legal and medical needs may arise within this time frame, and having the records available can prevent any potential legal issues or confusion. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest significantly shorter or longer retention periods, which may result in the records being unavailable when needed or taking up unnecessary storage space.
