Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Within the long-term care framework of OAC 3901-4-01, skilled care is the most intensive level of care: daily nursing or rehabilitative services that only licensed medical personnel, or personnel working under their supervision, may provide, such as intravenous therapy or postsurgical rehabilitation. Recognizing this hierarchy of care levels is essential because long-term care policies define which levels of care trigger benefits.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Help with daily living activities that needs no medical training describes custodial care, the least intensive level.
- C) Occasional meal and housekeeping help is homemaker-type custodial support, not skilled care.
- D) Unsupervised exercise programming involves no licensed medical personnel and does not meet the skilled-care standard.
