Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

How often must the department make or cause to be made at least one inspection of each nursing home?

1. Annually

2. Biennially

3. Quarterly

4. Semi-annually

The correct answer is: Biennially

A Annually is incorrect because that means only once a year, which may not be enough to ensure the quality of care provided at the nursing home. C: Quarterly is incorrect because that means every three months, which may still not be frequent enough to catch any issues or areas of improvement at the nursing home. D: Semi-annually is incorrect because that means only twice a year, which is still not frequent enough to ensure high standards of care at the nursing home. Making inspections biennially, or once every two years, allows the department to have a good balance between regularly checking in on the nursing home and giving enough time for any changes or improvements to be made before the next inspection. This frequency also ensures that any issues or problems can be addressed and resolved in a timely manner.
