Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What is a class "C" violation?

1. A condition or occurrence unrelated to a resident's health, safety, or welfare

2. A condition or occurrence directly involving financial misconduct

3. A condition or occurrence not directly threatening a resident's health, safety, or welfare

4. A condition or occurrence directly threatening a resident's health, safety, or welfare

The correct answer is: A condition or occurrence not directly threatening a resident's health, safety, or welfare

A class "C" violation refers to a condition or occurrence that is not directly threatening a resident's health, safety, or welfare. In the context of nursing home administration, it is important to categorize violations based on their severity, with class "C" violations being less serious compared to class "D" violations, which directly threaten a resident's health, safety, or welfare. This distinction helps administrators prioritize and address violations effectively to ensure the well-being of residents in the facility.
