living facilities in Florida?

 B) Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
 C) Department of Health (DOH)
 D) Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE)
Rationale: AHCA is the agency responsible for regulatory inspections

training curriculum, AHCA conducts facility inspections and enforces
compliance with regulations. The Department of Health handles other
healthcare licensing, and FDLE handles criminal investigations.

the facility as a whole, which may include multiple structures on a
single campus or property, provided they operate under a single
license.

3. A resident can be bedridden in an ALF with a standard license for no
more than how many days?
 A) 3 days
 B) 7 days
 C) 14 days
 D) 30 days
Rationale: A resident in an ALF with a standard license may be
bedridden for no more than 7 days. Beyond this period, the facility
must have appropriate licensing (such as Limited Nursing Services) or
arrange for transfer to a more appropriate setting.
4. Capacity in an ALF is the ____ of residents it is licensed to care for.
 A) Maximum number
 B) Number
 C) Minimum number

Rationale: Capacity in an ALF is defined as the number of residents
the facility is licensed to care for. This number is established during

licensed capacity is a regulatory requirement.

Rationale: Transferring is not considered an ADL; ambulation is the
correct ADL related to movement. The standard ADLs include eating,
dressing, ambulation, toileting, bathing, and continence. Transferring
is a related mobility function but is not typically categorized as a
primary ADL.
6. Limited nursing services in an ALF can only be provided by which of
the following?
 A) Certified Nursing Assistants only
 B) LPN, RN, or ARNP
 C) Medical Assistants
 D) Unlicensed personnel with training
Rationale: Limited nursing services can only be provided by licensed
nurses: Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), Registered Nurses (RN), or
Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNP). These services must
be provided within the scope of the facility's limited nursing services
license.

only if:
 A) Physical Restraint; they are ordered by a physician
 B) Safety device; they are requested by the family

 D) Safety device; they are approved by the administrator
Rationale: 1/2 bed rails are considered a physical restraint and are
allowed in an ALF only if they are ordered by a physician. This
ensures that the use of restraints is medically justified and
documented. Restraints must be used only when necessary for resident
safety.
