Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
A facility can require a resident to leave in four situations: nonpayment for services, needs that exceed what the facility can provide, the patient's medical condition no longer warrants long-term care, or the facility is going out of business. Being disruptive is not a cause for expel-ling a resident.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Katz Index takes only about 5 minutes to complete and rates patients as to whether they are totally independent or dependent in six basic functions. For the debilitated patient who will tire easily, this is the best choice. It is not mandated by Medicare, it is not as comprehensive as other tools, and it only shows functioning in 6 areas.
