1. A Florida nursing home administrator is preparing an applicant
for the licensure-by-examination pathway. Which combination of
examinations is required for Florida licensure by examination?
A. Only the NAB examination
B. Only the Florida Laws and Rules examination
C. The Florida Nursing Home Administrator Laws and Rules
Examination and the NAB Nursing Home Administrator Examination
D. The Florida CNA examination and the NAB examination
Answer: C. The Florida Nursing Home Administrator Laws and
Rules Examination and the NAB Nursing Home Administrator
Examination
Rationale: Florida's Board of Nursing Home Administrators states
that applicants for licensure by examination must pass the Florida
Nursing Home Administrator Laws and Rules Examination and the
NAB Nursing Home Administrator Examination. These are distinct
examination requirements, so passing only one does not satisfy the
complete examination pathway.
2. A candidate holds a bachelor's degree in a field unrelated to
health care administration and wants to qualify through Florida's
1
,Administrator-in-Training pathway. Which requirement is
specifically associated with the 2,000-hour AIT program?
A. A master's degree in nursing
B. A bachelor's degree in any field
C. An associate degree in health services
D. A bachelor's degree specifically in nursing
Answer: B. A bachelor's degree in any field
Rationale: Florida's current AIT information states that an applicant
for the 2,000-hour AIT program may qualify with a bachelor's degree
in any field. The 1,000-hour AIT pathway has more specific
educational requirements involving health care administration, health
services administration, or an equivalent degree with prescribed
coursework.
3. Under Florida's 1,000-hour AIT educational pathway, which
subject area is specifically required as part of the prescribed
coursework?
A. Marine biology
B. Long-term health care administration
C. Advanced pharmacology for physicians
D. Criminal investigation
Answer: B. Long-term health care administration
Rationale: Florida identifies long-term health care administration as
one of the required subject areas for the 1,000-hour AIT educational
pathway. Other prescribed areas include administration and
management, accounting and financial management, personnel
management, computer applications, aging, legal aspects of health
care administration, and patient care management.

,4. What is the minimum internship requirement identified by
Florida for one of the nursing home administrator licensure
pathways?
A. 100 hours in any assisted living facility
B. 250 hours in a hospital
C. 650 hours with a board-approved preceptor in a skilled nursing
facility having at least 60 beds
D. 2,500 hours in an outpatient clinic
Answer: C. 650 hours with a board-approved preceptor in a skilled
nursing facility having at least 60 beds
Rationale: Florida recognizes a pathway requiring completion of a
college- or university-affiliated internship of at least 650 hours with a
board-approved preceptor in a skilled nursing facility with at least 60
beds. The requirement is substantially more specific than simply
accumulating general health-care employment hours.
5. Which department is responsible for regulating and licensing
nursing home facilities in Florida?
A. Florida Department of Transportation
B. Agency for Health Care Administration
C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
D. Department of Revenue
Answer: B. Agency for Health Care Administration
Rationale: The Agency for Health Care Administration, commonly
known as AHCA, regulates Florida health-care facilities, including
nursing homes. A nursing home administrator must therefore
understand both administrator-specific regulations and the facility
standards administered through AHCA.

, 6. A nursing home administrator receives a report that a resident's
call light has been unanswered repeatedly. What should be the
administrator's highest priority?
A. Determine whether the resident's family has complained publicly
B. Determine whether the call-light system is functioning and whether
residents are receiving timely assistance
C. Wait for the next annual quality review
D. Ask housekeeping to investigate
Answer: B. Determine whether the call-light system is functioning
and whether residents are receiving timely assistance
Rationale: Unanswered call lights may indicate an immediate resident-
safety problem, inadequate staffing, equipment malfunction, or
failures in care processes. The administrator should investigate
promptly, protect residents from harm, correct the immediate problem,
and evaluate whether a broader systemic deficiency exists.
7. Which action best demonstrates effective nursing home quality
management?
A. Waiting for regulators to identify deficiencies
B. Reviewing adverse events, identifying root causes, implementing
corrective actions, and monitoring outcomes
C. Maintaining only financial records
D. Increasing advertising expenditures
Answer: B. Reviewing adverse events, identifying root causes,
implementing corrective actions, and monitoring outcomes
Rationale: Effective quality management is continuous and proactive.
The administrator should use data and incident information to identify
patterns, determine underlying causes, implement interventions, and
