Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

If an extension is needed on a plan of correction, how is it presented?

1. In a meeting

2. In writing prior to the plan of correction due date

3. Orally to the Department

4. Submitted online

The correct answer is: In writing prior to the plan of correction due date

When an extension is needed on a plan of correction in Colorado nursing home administration, it is essential to present the request in writing prior to the plan of correction due date. This written request allows for a formal documentation of the extension request and provides clarity on the timeline extension needed. It is important to follow proper procedures and communicate such requests formally to ensure compliance with regulations and maintain transparency in the correction process. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not emphasize the need for a formal, written request. Verbal requests (option C) may not be as effective in documenting the extension request, while submitting online (option D) may not be the standard procedure for requesting an extension on a plan of correction in this context. Meeting in person (option A) may not provide the necessary documentation and formal communication required in such situations.
