Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

To be a medication aide, a student shall have at least _________ hours of experience as a nurse aide in direct patient care within the last ___ years. And must have worked a minimum of _____ hours as a nurse aide within the last 90 days.

1. 1,000; 2; 30

2. 2,000; 3; 40

3. 2,500; 4; 50

4. 3,000; 3; 60

The correct answer is: 1,000; 2; 30

To be a medication aide, a student must have a minimum of 1,000 hours of experience as a nurse aide in direct patient care within the last 2 years. Additionally, the student must have worked a minimum of 30 hours as a nurse aide within the last 90 days. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet both requirements. Option B has the correct number of overall hours, but the required direct patient care time is 2,000 hours, not 2,500. Option C and D have the correct amount of direct patient care time, but they do not meet the time frame requirement of 2 years and 90 days, respectively. Therefore, option A is the only correct answer that meets both requirements.
