Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

How many days supply is generally required for written orders to keep resident medications?

1. 10 days

2. 30 days

3. 60 days

4. 90 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

In general, the correct amount of days supply for written orders to keep resident medications is 30 days. Option A (10 days) may not be enough supply to cover certain medications that require longer refill intervals, while options C (60 days) and D (90 days) may lead to excessive amounts of medication being kept on hand, which can be a safety risk for both the resident and others in the facility.
