Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What can be provided as a substitute for the chair in a resident room if requested by the resident or guardian?

1. Wheel-chair or geri-chair

2. Sofa

3. Rocking chair

4. Recliner

The correct answer is: Wheel-chair or geri-chair

In resident rooms, it's important to have a comfortable and functional place for residents to sit. While options like a recliner or rocking chair may be available in certain situations, they may not be suitable for every resident. For instance, a resident with limited mobility may find it difficult to get in and out of a recliner or rocking chair. A sofa or other large furniture piece may also be challenging for residents to move around or access when desired. In this case, a wheelchair or geri-chair can provide a stable and easily accessible sitting option for residents in their room.
