Ohio Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam

How much square footage per resident is required in the dining room and recreation room based on different capacity levels in a nursing home?

1. 20 sq feet per resident at 50% capacity

2. 25 sq feet per resident at 75% capacity

3. 25 sq feet per resident at 100% capacity

4. 30 sq feet per resident at 125% capacity

The correct answer is: 25 sq feet per resident at 100% capacity

In a nursing home, the minimum square footage required per resident in the dining room and recreation room is 25 square feet at 100% capacity. This ensures that residents have enough space to move around comfortably, socialize with others, and participate in various activities. Option A (20 sq feet per resident at 50% capacity), Option B (25 sq feet per resident at 75% capacity), and Option D (30 sq feet per resident at 125% capacity) do not meet the standard requirement for square footage per resident at full capacity as stated in the regulations for nursing homes.
