Ohio Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam

What information must a nursing home prepare in anticipation of a discharge?

1. An updated assessment, a plan developed with the resident, and any needed accommodation to the physical environment

2. A list of all the residents' belongings

3. A bill for all the services provided during the stay

4. Recommendations for future health care providers only

The correct answer is: An updated assessment, a plan developed with the resident, and any needed accommodation to the physical environment

A nursing home must prepare an updated assessment, a plan developed with the resident, and any needed accommodation to the physical environment in anticipation of a discharge. This is because the nursing home needs to ensure that the resident is able to safely transition to their next living arrangement and that their needs will be met. Option B is incorrect because it is not the responsibility of the nursing home to keep track of the residents' belongings. Option C is incorrect because the nursing home does not provide services for the purpose of generating a bill, and option D is incorrect because recommendations for future health care providers are just one part of the overall discharge preparation process for a resident.
