Ohio Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam

The plan of care shall be reviewed at least how often or under what conditions?

1. Significant change and at least quarterly

2. Every six months or annually

3. Monthly, or more often if needed

4. Whenever the resident requests it

The correct answer is: Significant change and at least quarterly

The plan of care for a resident in a healthcare setting should be reviewed frequently to ensure it is meeting their needs and addressing any changes in their health. Option A, which states "significant change and at least quarterly," is the most accurate and all-encompassing answer. Significant changes in a resident's health or well-being may require adjustments to their plan of care to ensure their needs are being met. Additionally, quarterly reviews provide enough time to assess the effectiveness of the current care plan and make any necessary changes. Options B and C, which mention longer time frames, may not allow for timely adjustments in the event of significant changes. Option D, "Whenever the resident requests it," relies solely on the resident to initiate a review and does not account for any changes in their condition that may have occurred.
