Wisconsin Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

How many of the 100 required hours for the medication aide training program must be spent in clinical experience?

1. 30 hours

2. 40 hours

3. 50 hours

4. 60 hours

The correct answer is: 30 hours

Clinical experience is an important aspect of the medication aide training program as it provides hands-on practice and real-life application of the knowledge and skills learned. However, it should not take up the majority of the required 100 hours. If 50 or 60 hours were spent on clinical experience, there would not be enough time left for classroom instruction and other essential components of the training program. Option A, 30 hours, strikes a balance between the amount of clinical experience and other necessary elements of the program. Therefore, it is the most appropriate answer.
