Question

The facility cannot require a resident or potential resident to give ___ or ___ that he/she is not eligible for, or will not apply for Medicare and Medicaid benefits:

a. Money, Goods
b. Gifts, Contributions
c. Assurances, Guarantees
d. Statements, Declarations

Answer 1

The correct answer is assurances or guarantees. It is unethical and illegal for facilities to require such statements from residents regarding their eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid benefits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The facility cannot require a resident or potential resident to give assurances or guarantees that he/she is not eligible for, or will not apply for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. It is important to understand that residents have rights and are entitled to their benefits without being forced or coerced into making decisions against their will. This practice would be considered unethical and against legal regulations designed to protect the rights of residents, potentially leading to situations where they do not feel truly free to refuse participation due to perceived obligations or expected benefits.
