During the year a facility provided 30,000 days of resident care. The operational costs were $3,240,000, and the reimbursement rate was $115 per day. What was the profit per resident day?
- A.
$7
- B.
$8
- C.

Correct Answer
A. $7Explanation
To calculate the profit per resident day, we need to subtract the operational costs from the reimbursement received per day. The operational costs were $3,240,000 for 30,000 days of resident care, which means the cost per resident day was $108 ($3,240,000 / 30,000). The reimbursement rate per day was $115, so the profit per resident day is $7 ($115 - $108). Therefore, the correct answer is $7.Rate this question:

A care was purchased for your facility at a cost of $20,000. CMS allows you to depreciate out the cost in at which time there will be a salvage value of $2000. What will be the book value after two years?
- A.
$9,800
- B.
$10,800
- C.
$11,000
- D.
$12,800
Correct Answer
D. $12,800Explanation
The book value after two years can be calculated by subtracting the depreciation expense from the initial cost of the car. The depreciation expense is calculated by dividing the difference between the initial cost and the salvage value by the useful life of the car. In this case, the depreciation expense per year is ($20,000 - $2,000) / 5 = $3,600. Therefore, after two years, the depreciation expense would be $3,600 * 2 = $7,200. Subtracting this from the initial cost of $20,000 gives us $20,000 - $7,200 = $12,800 as the book value after two years.Rate this question:

The Brimm facility has 120 beds. During May you gve the following days of care: 160 Medicare, 800 private pay, and 1920 Medicaid. What was your percent occupancy?
- A.
77%
- B.
80%
- C.
82%
- D.
90%
Correct Answer
A. 77%Explanation
The percent occupancy is calculated by dividing the total number of beds occupied by the total number of beds available and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the total number of beds occupied is the sum of Medicare, private pay, and Medicaid days of care, which is 160 + 800 + 1920 = 2880. The total number of beds available is given as 120. Dividing 2880 by 120 and multiplying by 100 gives us 2400%, which is equivalent to 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is 80%, not 77%.Rate this question:

The Director of Nursing of a 240 bed nursing home facility receives a $58,000 salary. The facility's current occupancy rate is 80%. What is the fixed cost of the DON's salary per resident day?
- A.
65 cents
- B.
74 cents
- C.
83 cents
- D.
97 cents
Correct Answer
C. 83 centsExplanation
The fixed cost of the Director of Nursing's salary per resident day can be calculated by dividing the total salary by the total number of resident days. The facility has a capacity of 240 beds, and since the occupancy rate is 80%, the number of residents is 240 * 0.8 = 192. Assuming there are 365 days in a year, the total number of resident days is 192 * 365 = 70,080. Dividing the Director of Nursing's salary of $58,000 by the total number of resident days gives us $58,000 / 70,080 = 0.827, which is approximately 83 cents. Therefore, the correct answer is 83 cents.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. At least monthlyExplanation
The correct answer is "at least monthly" because in SNF's (Skilled Nursing Facilities), it is crucial for the pharmacist to regularly review each resident's drug regimen to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Monthly reviews allow the pharmacist to monitor any changes in the resident's health condition, adjust medications if needed, identify potential drug interactions or side effects, and collaborate with the healthcare team to provide optimal care. This frequent review helps to prevent medication errors and improve the overall quality of medication management in SNF's.Rate this question:

A nursing facility has been notified that reimbursement lag time will increase 5 days during that fiscal year. What administrative action is most appropriate?
- A.
Increase gains and decrease losses
- B.
Increase working capital
- C.
Increase net worth
- D.
Do nothing at this time
Correct Answer
B. Increase working capitalExplanation
Increasing working capital would be the most appropriate administrative action in response to the notification that reimbursement lag time will increase. This is because a longer lag time means that the facility will have to wait longer to receive payments, which could potentially cause a cash flow problem. By increasing working capital, the facility can ensure that it has enough funds to cover its expenses during the extended lag time period. This can be done by either increasing current assets or decreasing current liabilities, or a combination of both.Rate this question:
