SECTION 1: RESIDENT RIGHTS AND ADMISSION AGREEMENTS Q1 – Q25
══════════════════════════════════════
Question 1 of 150
Mrs. Higgins, an 82-year-old resident, has requested a copy of her admission agreement to
review with her son. She currently has a balance due for extra care services, and the
administrator is hesitant to provide the document until the payment is discussed. How should the
administrator respond to this request?
A. Explain that financial discussions must be resolved before releasing internal documents.
B. Provide the document immediately as it is a right of the resident to access their records.
C. Schedule a meeting with the son to present the document and discuss the bill simultaneously.
D. Offer to summarize the agreement verbally to avoid confusion regarding the financial charges.
B. Provide the document immediately as it is a right of the resident to access their records. ✓
Correct Answer
,2
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Residents have the right to access their own records, including the admission
agreement, regardless of their financial status or outstanding balances. Withholding documents to
coerce payment violates resident rights regulations. Maintaining transparency builds trust and
ensures compliance with Title 22 requirements.
Question 2 of 150
Mr. Chen is moving into your facility tomorrow. His daughter calls to ask if she can store his
savings bonds in the facility’s safe because she worries about theft in his room. What is the most
appropriate action regarding the storage of resident valuables?
A. Agree to store them in the safe for a small monthly maintenance fee.
B. Refuse to store them and advise the daughter to open a bank lockbox.
C. Store the items temporarily but require a waiver of liability for the facility.
D. Allow the storage only if the items are listed in the resident’s inventory sheet.
B. Refuse to store them and advise the daughter to open a bank lockbox. ✓ Correct Answer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: RCFE staff are generally prohibited from handling or storing resident cash or valuable
securities due to the high risk of liability and loss. The regulation requires facilities to advise
residents to use safe deposit boxes or bank lockboxes for these items. Small amounts of cash for
incidental use may be kept in the resident's locked room, not the facility safe.
Question 3 of 150
During a morning walkthrough, you notice a caregiver has placed a "Do Not Disturb" sign on a
resident's door to ensure the resident naps undisturbed. While the intention is good, which core
resident right policy does this inadvertently risk violating?
A. The right to privacy and confidentiality.
B. The right to immediate access to the facility and the resident.
C. The right to refuse care and services.
,3
D. The right to a safe and clean environment.
B. The right to immediate access to the facility and the resident. ✓ Correct Answer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: While residents have privacy rights, doors cannot be locked or barricaded in a way
that prevents staff or emergency personnel from accessing the resident in case of a crisis. A "Do
Not Disturb" sign is acceptable, but physically blocking access or locking doors from the inside
is prohibited. Safety and emergency access always supersede privacy concerns during an
emergency.
Question 4 of 150
Mrs. Gonzalez’s power of attorney for healthcare, her son, insists that she must not be weighed
in front of other residents during the monthly wellness check. He wants this restriction
documented formally. Where should this specific request be recorded to ensure compliance?
A. In the daily communication log for the shift.
B. In the confidential resident file under the care plan notes.
C. On the front of the resident’s medication administration record.
D. In the master fire and safety plan for the facility.
B. In the confidential resident file under the care plan notes. ✓ Correct Answer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Specific care instructions and resident preferences, such as dignity preservation during
weights, must be documented in the resident's care plan to inform all staff. The daily log is too
temporary, and the MAR is strictly for medications. The care plan ensures the instruction is
communicated and followed consistently by all caregivers.
Question 5 of 150
A resident who is cognitively alert wants to keep a small locked box in her room containing her
personal diary and jewelry. She is concerned that staff will enter and snoop through her
belongings. How must the facility accommodate this right to privacy?
, 4
A. Staff must provide the resident with her own key and ensure the box is never opened without
her presence.
B. The facility is permitted to open the box for health and safety inspections without the resident
present.
C. Staff must refuse the box because it presents a hazard during an evacuation.
D. The facility can allow the box but retains a duplicate key for inventory management.
A. Staff must provide the resident with her own key and ensure the box is never opened without
her presence. ✓ Correct Answer
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Residents have a right to privacy and to secure personal items in their rooms; the
facility cannot hold keys to resident lockboxes or enter them without permission. This ensures
the resident maintains control over their private belongings. Staff may only enter without
permission in a life-threatening emergency, but routine inspections cannot include unlocking
resident-owned private lockboxes.
Question 6 of 150
Mr. Thompson has a habit of shouting profanities at the television in the common living room
during the evening news. Other residents are complaining. Can the facility legally restrict his
television viewing hours or content?
A. Yes, because the noise disturbs the peace of other residents.
B. No, because he has the right to view whatever he wants in his own home.
C. Yes, but only if a physician documents that the content is medically detrimental.
D. No, unless the family provides written consent to limit his civil liberties.
B. No, because he has the right to view whatever he wants in his own home. ✓ Correct Answer
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Residents retain their civil rights, including the right to watch television and express
themselves, provided they are not violating the rights of others or safety codes. While the facility
can address the volume or noise level, they cannot restrict the content he watches or his right to
