The emergency power system in nursing homes may be battery operated if it is effective for how long?

At least 2 hours
At least 3 hours
At least 4 hours
At least 8 hours

The correct answer is: At least 4 hours

Nursing homes are required to have an emergency power system in case of power outages. This system must be able to operate for a certain amount of time, in order to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents. Option A (at least 2 hours) is incorrect because this may not be a sufficient amount of time, especially in the event of a prolonged power outage. Option B (at least 3 hours) is also incorrect for the same reason. Option D (at least 8 hours) is incorrect because it exceeds the minimum requirement for emergency power duration in nursing homes, as set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Therefore, option C (at least 4 hours) is the correct answer, as it meets the minimum requirement for emergency power duration in nursing homes.
