What is a requirement for residents to have pets in a nursing home under facility policy?

  1. Monthly vaccination updates

  2. Bi-annual vaccinations

  3. Annual vaccinations

  4. Internal and external parasite examinations and vaccinations for common infectious agents annually

The correct answer is: Internal and external parasite examinations and vaccinations for common infectious agents annually

The correct answer is D because requiring internal and external parasite examinations and vaccinations for common infectious agents annually is crucial in ensuring the health and safety of both the residents and the pets in a nursing home setting. This policy helps prevent the spread of diseases and parasites among residents and animals, promoting a healthy environment for everyone involved. Additionally, regular veterinary care for pets can help detect and address any health issues early on, contributing to the overall well-being of the residents and their furry companions. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not fully address the potential health risks associated with pet ownership in a nursing home setting. Regular vaccination updates are important, but the emphasis on internal and external parasite examinations and vaccinations for common infectious agents annually is essential to maintain a safe living environment for all residents.
