Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What must be sent to the attending physician after a person is admitted for respite care?

1. Resident’s educational history

2. The comprehensive resident assessment, the physician's orders, and the plan of care

3. The facility’s policy manual

4. A financial statement

The correct answer is: The comprehensive resident assessment, the physician's orders, and the plan of care

After a person is admitted for respite care, the attending physician must receive the comprehensive resident assessment, their physician's orders, and the plan of care in order to properly care for the resident. Option A, the resident's educational history, is not needed for this purpose and is not relevant to their medical care. Option C, the facility's policy manual, may be useful for staff members but does not need to be sent to the attending physician. Option D, a financial statement, is not necessary for the attending physician and does not provide any information about the resident's care.
