Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Which of the following topics is not required to be covered during the first 16 hours of classroom training for the nurse aide program?

1. Infection control

2. Nutrition and diet

3. Promoting residents' independence

4. Safety and emergency procedures

The correct answer is: Nutrition and diet

During the first 16 hours of classroom training for the nurse aide program, topics such as infection control, promoting residents' independence, and safety and emergency procedures are crucial aspects to cover as they are essential for providing high-quality care to residents. Nutrition and diet, while important, can typically be covered in later portions of the training program. Understanding infection control protocols, promoting resident independence, and being prepared for safety and emergency situations are more urgent topics to cover at the beginning of a nurse aide training program to ensure the well-being and safety of residents.
