California Nursing Home Administrator License Practice Exam

What is NOT a requirement for staff regarding HIV/AIDS training?

1. Training to be completed before starting their role

2. Training within 30 days of starting employment

3. Training to include clinical procedures

4. Training must be updated every year

The correct answer is: Training to include clinical procedures

The correct choice highlights that while staff training is crucial for understanding HIV/AIDS management and prevention, including clinical procedures is not specifically mandated as part of the training requirements. The essential focus of training is to ensure that all staff members understand the risks, transmission methods, and precautions necessary to handle HIV/AIDS in a care setting. Training requirements emphasize timely completion before employment begins or shortly thereafter, linking to the importance of having the knowledge before staff engage in their roles. While annual updates may be required to keep staff aware of changes in standards and practices, the need for training to touch upon clinical procedures may depend more on the specific roles of the staff rather than being a blanket requirement. Thus, the training does not have to specifically include clinical procedures, making this choice the correct answer.
