Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Which of the following is required if an applicant has not been previously licensed under this chapter?

1. A maximum bed capacity limit

2. Detailed complaint report from former affiliations

3. Financial performance report

4. A probationary license

The correct answer is: A probationary license

A probationary license is required if an applicant has not been previously licensed under this chapter. This allows new applicants to get a license on a trial basis, meaning they must comply with certain conditions or restrictions before being eligible for renewal of their license. This helps ensure that all new applicants meet the necessary requirements and standards before obtaining a full license. The other options are incorrect because - A: A maximum bed capacity limit is not a requirement for applicants who have not been previously licensed under this chapter. This refers to the maximum number of people a facility can serve, and is typically determined by local regulations. - B: A detailed complaint report from former affiliations is not required because it may not accurately reflect the individual's performance and qualifications for their own license. - C: A financial performance report is not required for new applicants as they may not have previous financial records to provide. This report is usually used to assess the financial stability and viability of established facilities.
