How often must the nursing home staff provide advanced care planning?

  1. Only upon admission

  2. Quarterly

  3. Semi-annually

  4. Monthly

The correct answer is: Quarterly

Advanced care planning involves discussing and documenting a resident's preferences for future medical care, particularly in the event that they become unable to make decisions for themselves. Conducting advanced care planning discussions on a quarterly basis ensures that the resident's wishes are regularly reviewed and updated as needed. This frequency allows the staff to stay informed about any changes in the resident's preferences and ensures that their care aligns with their wishes. Options A, C, and D are not as appropriate as conducting advanced care planning discussions only upon admission, semi-annually, or monthly may not provide adequate opportunities to review and update the resident's preferences effectively.
