Ohio Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam

What may a nursing home establish to ensure visits do not unduly disturb other residents?

1. Reasonable policies

2. A no-visitors rule

3. Visiting hours for weekends only

4. A visitors' tax

The correct answer is: Reasonable policies

A. Reasonable policies would ensure that residents can receive visitors without being disturbed. This would involve setting guidelines such as limiting the number of visitors at once, requiring visitors to be respectful of other residents, and establishing specific visiting hours to prevent disturbances during important activities or rest times. B. A no-visitors rule would be too extreme and not allow residents to have any visitors at all, limiting their social interactions and potentially causing emotional distress. C. Visiting hours for weekends only would restrict visitors to specific times, which may not work for all residents and their families. D. A visitors' tax would not address the issue of disturbing other residents and could discourage visitors from coming to see loved ones.
