Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

Who must consent for a resident to be housed in a locked unit under non-emergency conditions?

1. The resident only

2. The facility staff

3. The resident's legal guardian

4. The resident or the court that protectively placed the resident

The correct answer is: The resident or the court that protectively placed the resident

The correct answer is D, as both the resident and the court that protectively placed them must consent for the resident to be housed in a locked unit under non-emergency conditions. Option A is incorrect because the resident's consent alone is not enough. Option B is incorrect because it does not include the court's involvement. Option C is incorrect because the guardian's consent is not sufficient without the court's approval.
