Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Which of the following best describes "limited nursing care"?

1. Simple nursing care procedures for short-term illnesses only

2. Complex nursing care requiring constant supervision

3. Simple nursing care procedures required by residents with long-term illnesses or disabilities

4. Any nursing care that can be provided safely without supervision

The correct answer is: Simple nursing care procedures required by residents with long-term illnesses or disabilities

"Limited nursing care" refers to simple nursing care procedures required by residents with long-term illnesses or disabilities. This type of care generally does not involve complex procedures or constant supervision. It is essential for nursing home administrators to understand the different levels of care needed by residents to ensure they receive appropriate and quality care. Option A is incorrect as it refers to short-term illnesses only, which does not align with the definition of limited nursing care for long-term illnesses or disabilities. Option B is incorrect as it describes complex nursing care requiring constant supervision, which is not reflective of limited nursing care. Option D is incorrect as it defines any nursing care that can be provided safely without supervision, which is too generalized for the specific context of limited nursing care.
