Question

1. if a licensee believes an exception to the requirements of restricted and prohibited health conditions is deemed necessary, what action can they take?

admit the resident into a private room
submit a written exception request
exceptions are not permitted
submit a request for additional staff

Explanation:

When a licensee deems an exception to restricted/prohibited health conditions necessary, the proper procedure is to formally request it in writing. This ensures proper documentation and review. Admitting to a private room or requesting staff doesn't address the exception need. Exceptions are permitted via proper channels, so "Exceptions are not permitted" is incorrect.

Answer:

Submit a written exception request
