Final answer:
OBRA nurse aide training regulations require a minimum of 75 hours of training, a competency evaluation program that includes both practical and written examinations, and are not solely for registered nurses nor do they waive the written examination requirement.
Step-by-step explanation:
The OBRA (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) nurse aide training regulations are federal requirements that nursing facilities must follow to help ensure a certain standard of care. One of the key stipulations of OBRA mandates is that the nurse aide training and competency evaluation programs must consist of at least 75 hours of training, which is significantly more than 10 hours. This training should include classroom instruction and supervised practical training. The practical training part must be performed in a nursing facility. Furthermore, the OBRA regulations specify that a nurse aide must complete a Competency Evaluation Program (CEP), which often includes both written and practical skills examination.
Regarding the options provided:
A) This is incorrect as the requirement is a minimum of 75 hours of training, not 10.
B) This is correct; OBRA requires a Competency Evaluation Program for nurse aides.
C) This is incorrect; training is not exclusive to registered nurses (RNs) as it applies to nurse aides.
D) This is incorrect; OBRA does require a written examination as part of the CEP.
