What is the maximum refrigerator temperature for storing perishable food and drink in a nursing home?

32 degrees F
35 degrees F
40 degrees F
45 degrees F

The correct answer is: 40 degrees F

Refrigerators in nursing homes should be set to a maximum temperature of 40 degrees F for storing perishable food and drink. This is because temperatures below 40 degrees F can slow bacterial growth and keep food safe to consume longer. Options A and B may seem like correct answers as they are lower temperatures, but they are too cold and can lead to food freezing and potentially causing it to spoil. Option D is too warm and can lead to bacteria growth and spoilage of food. Therefore, 40 degrees F is the optimal temperature for refrigerators in nursing homes.
