Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

What is the primary purpose of a fitness review?

1. To verify fiscal responsibility of the applicant

2. To review the applicant's fitness to conduct or maintain licensed operations

3. To assess the applicant's marketing strategy

4. To evaluate the applicant's licensing history

The correct answer is: To review the applicant's fitness to conduct or maintain licensed operations

A fitness review is specifically conducted to evaluate the physical and mental well-being of an applicant to handle and maintain licensed operations. This includes reviewing their general physical fitness, mental health, and ability to fulfill job requirements. The other options, such as fiscal responsibility, marketing strategy, and licensing history, may be considered during the review process but are not the primary purpose of a fitness review. It is important to note that this type of review does not focus on past financial decisions or marketing tactics, but rather on the individual's capability to perform the necessary duties and responsibilities associated with the specific license.
