How many hours of nursing care are required in a nursing care facility per resident per day?

1. 1 hour

2. 2 hours

3. 3 hours

4. 4 hours

The correct answer is: 2 hours

The amount of nursing care required in a nursing care facility per resident per day varies depending on the individual needs of the resident. Generally, the average is around 2 hours, making option B the correct answer. Option A (1 hour) may not provide enough time for all necessary tasks and care to be completed, while options C (3 hours) and D (4 hours) may be excessive and not necessary for all residents. It is important for facilities to assess and provide the appropriate amount of nursing care to meet the unique needs of each resident.
