Ohio Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam

Who is responsible for conducting fire training and how often should it occur?

1. Local police department, annually

2. State fire marshal, biannually

3. State fire marshal or local fire department, annually

4. Facility staff, monthly

The correct answer is: State fire marshal or local fire department, annually

State fire marshal or local fire department is responsible for conducting fire training for nursing home staff, and it should occur annually. This is the correct answer because both the state fire marshal and the local fire department have the expertise and knowledge to provide effective fire training to ensure the safety of residents and staff in the event of a fire emergency. Annual fire training is essential to keep staff updated on fire safety protocols, evacuation procedures, and the proper use of firefighting equipment. Option A is incorrect because the responsibility for fire training typically falls on the fire department, not the police department. Option B is incorrect as the fire training should occur annually, not biannually. Option D is incorrect as monthly fire training may be excessive and not necessary for nursing home staff.
