Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

The department shall request that the planning commission or agency send to the department, within how many days, a description of any specific hazards which may affect the health and safety of the resident?

1. 15

2. 30

3. 45

4. 60

The correct answer is: 15

The department shall request that the planning commission or agency send to the department within 15 days a description of any specific hazards which may affect the health and safety of the resident. This means that the department should expect to receive this information within a relatively short period of time, specifically within 15 days. The other options, 30, 45, and 60 days, are all longer periods of time and would not be in line with the prompt's request for a more timely response. A 30-day window would be too broad and could potentially delay important information from being received. Similarly, 45 and 60 days are even longer and would be considered too slow of a response time for this request. Therefore, option A, 15 days, is the most accurate and appropriate response for this question.
