Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What are the two conditions that must be met for a resident not to be involuntarily transferred or discharged for nonpayment of charges?

1. Resident is in need of ongoing care; resident has private insurance

2. Resident is in need of ongoing care; no acceptance by another facility or community service

3. Resident has paid half of the charges; resident’s family has agreed to pay the rest

4. Resident has found housing; resident cannot afford the current care

The correct answer is: Resident is in need of ongoing care; no acceptance by another facility or community service

Two conditions must be met for a resident to not be involuntarily transferred or discharged for nonpayment of charges. Option A is incorrect because both conditions must be met, not just one. Option C is incorrect because the resident is still required to pay the charges, regardless of how much has been paid. Option D is incorrect because finding housing does not mean the resident has agreed to pay for the current care. Therefore, the only correct answer is Option B - the resident must be in need of ongoing care and there must not be acceptance by another facility or community service.
