Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Any two of the following:
The transfer or discharge is necessary for the resident's welfare and the resident's needs cannot be met in the facility;
The transfer or discharge is appropriate because the resident's health has improved sufficiently so the resident no longer needs the services provided by the facility;
The safety of individuals in the facility is endangered;
The health of individuals in the facility would otherwise be endangered;
The resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay for (or to have paid under Medicare or Medicaid) a stay at the facility. For a resident who becomes eligible for Medicaid after admission to a nursing facility, the nursing facility may only bill a resident those charges allowable under Medicaid.
