, SECTION 1: LICENSURE, ADMINISTRATION & EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Q1. A new assisted living facility in Florida is preparing to open. The administrator must ensure the facility holds a valid license
from which state agency before admitting the first resident?
A. Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
B. Florida Department of Elder Affairs only
C. Florida Department of Health exclusively
D. Local county zoning board
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: AHCA is the licensing authority for assisted living facilities in Florida under Chapter 429, F.S., and Rule 59A-36. A facility may not
operate or admit residents without a current AHCA license.
Q2. During a routine review, the administrator discovers that the facility’s Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan has not
been updated in three years. According to Florida requirements, how often must the CEMP be reviewed and updated?
A. Only when a disaster occurs
B. At least annually and whenever significant changes occur
C. Every five years
D. Only upon request by AHCA surveyors
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Florida rules require the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to be reviewed and updated at least annually and whenever
there are significant changes in facility operations, staffing, or local emergency procedures.
Q3. A facility with 40 residents is planning required fire drills. The administrator must ensure that fire drills are conducted at what
minimum frequency?
A. Once per year on each shift
B. Only during daytime hours
C. At least quarterly on each shift, including nights and weekends as applicable
D. Twice per year total
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Uniform fire safety standards and ALF rules require fire drills at least quarterly on each shift so that all staff and residents practice
evacuation procedures under realistic conditions.
Q4. An administrator is preparing the facility’s advertising materials. Which statement correctly reflects Florida ALF advertising
requirements?
A. Facilities may claim to provide skilled nursing care equivalent to a nursing home
B. Only print advertisements are regulated; online ads have no restrictions
C. Facilities may guarantee specific health outcomes to attract residents
D. Advertising must not be false, misleading, or deceptive and must accurately represent the services the facility is licensed to provide
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Florida law prohibits false or misleading advertising. ALFs may advertise only the level of care and services they are licensed to
provide and may not imply nursing-home level skilled care unless licensed accordingly.
Q5. In the event of a hurricane warning, the facility activates its emergency plan. The administrator’s first operational priority is to:
A. Protect resident safety by implementing shelter-in-place or evacuation procedures according to the approved CEMP and local
emergency management direction
B. Continue normal admissions of new residents
C. Send all staff home immediately
D. Close the facility permanently
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Resident safety is paramount. The CEMP and coordination with local emergency management dictate whether the facility shelters in
place or evacuates; normal operations such as new admissions are suspended as needed.
Q6. A newly hired administrator has completed the 26-hour core training. Within what time frame must the administrator
successfully pass the core competency examination?
A. Within 30 days of hire
B. Within 12 months of hire
C. Within 3 months of becoming administrator or manager
D. There is no time limit
