Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What is required for the plan of correction submission?

1. Submitted to the Department within 20 calendar days

2. Signed by only the facility's janitor

3. Signed by the licensee's director, administrator, or manager

4. Submitted without any timeline

The correct answer is: Signed by the licensee's director, administrator, or manager

The correct answer is C because the plan of correction submission must be signed by the licensee's director, administrator, or manager to ensure that the individual responsible for the operation of the facility acknowledges and takes ownership of the corrections needed. Option A is incorrect because the plan of correction must be submitted within 10 calendar days, not 20. Option B is incorrect as it states that only the facility's janitor needs to sign the plan, which is not appropriate as the responsibility lies with higher management. Option D is incorrect as the plan of correction submission does have a timeline of within 10 calendar days for compliance.
