Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

No bedroom housing a resident shall open directly to which of the following?

1. A bathroom

2. A kitchen or laundry

3. A common area

4. An outside corridor

The correct answer is: A bathroom

No bedroom housing a resident should open directly to a bathroom due to privacy and safety concerns. Residents should have a sense of personal space and separation from shared spaces such as bathrooms where other residents or staff members may frequently pass through. It is essential for residents to have a designated private area where they can feel comfortable and secure. Bedrooms opening directly to a bathroom may compromise the resident's sense of privacy and dignity. The options B, C, and D are common areas within a facility where it is more acceptable for bedrooms to open directly to as they are not as private or personal as a bathroom.
