Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

If a facility director of food services is not a dietitian, how often must they consult with a qualified dietitian?

1. Annually

2. Monthly

3. On a frequent and regularly scheduled basis

4. Weekly

The correct answer is: Annually

The correct answer is "Annually". This means that a facility director of food services who is not a dietitian should consult with a qualified dietitian once every year. This is important because a dietitian has specialized knowledge and training in nutrition and food service which can benefit the facility and ensure proper standards are being met. The other options, such as "Monthly", "On a frequent and regularly scheduled basis", and "Weekly" may be considered too frequent for consultations, and may not be necessary unless there are significant changes or new developments in the food service operation. It is important for the facility director to consult with a qualified dietitian regularly, but not too often that it becomes burdensome for both parties.
