If deficient practices are found during a survey, what action may the Department take?
Extended survey
Fine the facility
License suspension
Shut down the facility
The correct answer is: Extended survey
Extended survey is the most likely action the Department would take in response to deficient practices found during a survey. This is because it allows the Department to more thoroughly assess the facility and ensure that corrective actions have been taken to address the deficiencies. The other options may also be taken, but they are more severe and may not always be necessary or appropriate. Fine the facility or license suspension may be used for more serious deficiencies, while shutting down the facility is usually a last resort option.
