  1. 12

  2. 24

  3. 48

  4. 72

The correct answer is: 24

In Wisconsin, if there is reasonable cause to believe that a resident's death was related to physical restraint or psychotropic medication, the nursing home must report the death to the department within 24 hours. This prompt reporting is essential to ensure that any possible issues or concerns related to the resident's death are promptly investigated and addressed by the appropriate authorities. Therefore, option B is the correct answer in this scenario.
