Who administers and evaluates the skills demonstration under federal rule?
- AThe director of nursing at the facility where the candidate is employed
- BAny certified nurse aide with at least three years of continuous experience
- CA registered nurse with at least one year caring for the elderly or chronically ill
- DA licensed practical nurse with at least two years in long-term care nursing
Show answer and rationale
Correct: C. Section 483.154(c)(4)(ii) sets exactly this requirement. It is distinct from the trainer requirement at 483.152(a)(5)(i), which is an RN with two years' experience including one in long-term care.
- D — The rule names a registered nurse for the skills evaluation, not an LPN.
- A — A facility director of nursing is barred from performing the actual training.
- B — Experience as a nurse aide does not qualify a person to evaluate the demonstration.
