Where is indoor resident smoking permitted in a nursing home?

  1. In open communal areas

  2. Anywhere inside the building

  3. In separately enclosed and separately ventilated designated areas

  4. Outside the building only

The correct answer is: In separately enclosed and separately ventilated designated areas

In a nursing home, indoor resident smoking is only permitted in separately enclosed and separately ventilated designated areas. This is because of the potential health risks associated with secondhand smoke for other residents and staff members throughout the building. Option A, in open communal areas, may expose others to secondhand smoke. Option B, anywhere inside the building, is incorrect for the same reason. Option D, outside the building only, is incorrect because it does not address the issue of designated areas for smoking.
