What should a resident have completed to be eligible to have a pet in a nursing home?

  1. Bi-annual physical examination

  2. Annual physical examination

  3. Quarterly physical examination

  4. Monthly physical examination

The correct answer is: Annual physical examination

Residents who wish to have a pet in a nursing home should typically have an annual physical examination completed. This ensures that the resident's health is regularly monitored and that they are physically able to care for and interact with a pet. Regular physical examinations help identify any health issues that could potentially impact the resident's ability to care for a pet or be around animals safely. Bi-annual, quarterly, or monthly physical examinations may be too frequent for this purpose and are not usually necessary unless there are specific health concerns that require more frequent monitoring.
