California Nursing Home Administrator License Practice Exam

Which documents must be provided at the time of admission if not previously included in information shared with potential residents?

1. a copy of the resident's bill of rights, copy of the ALF administrator's license, and the copy of any contracts with ancillary care providers

2. copy of the resident contract, copy of the resident's bill of rights and a copy of the long term care ombudsman brochure

3. copy of long term ombudsman brochure and a copy of the last five complaints (grievances) received from residents

4. a copy of annual list of grievances, copy of the residents handbook, and a copy of the administration on aging's website address

The correct answer is: copy of the resident contract, copy of the resident's bill of rights and a copy of the long term care ombudsman brochure

The correct answer encompasses essential documents that must be provided at the time of admission to ensure transparency and inform the resident about their rights and the services available to them. The inclusion of a copy of the resident contract ensures that the resident understands the terms of their stay, including financial responsibilities and services provided. The resident's bill of rights is crucial as it outlines the basic rights and protections that residents are entitled to, fostering an environment of respect and dignity. Additionally, providing a copy of the long-term care ombudsman brochure informs residents about external advocacy resources available to them, which can assist in addressing any concerns or complaints they might have. This combination of documents supports informed consent and empowers residents to navigate their care options effectively, demonstrating the facility's commitment to transparency and resident welfare. The other options do not reflect this combination of critical documents that prioritize both resident rights and resources upon admission, making option B the most comprehensive and correct choice.
