Ohio Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam

After the 90-day period, how often is each resident of a nursing home to be evaluated by a physician?

1. At least every 60 days

2. Once a year

3. Every 30 days

4. Biennially

The correct answer is: At least every 60 days

A resident of a nursing home should be evaluated by a physician at least every 60 days, according to the 90-day during a 90-day period. This means that they must be evaluated at least twice every 90 days. Options B and C do not satisfy this requirement as they are less frequent than every 60 days. Option D is incorrect as biennially means every two years, which is not often enough for proper care and monitoring of residents in a nursing home setting. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate choice as it provides the necessary frequency for evaluations as stated in the question.
