Correct answer: A. 10:1

WAC 246-841A-440 caps the clinical student-to-instructor ratio at 10:1, with the clinical instructor providing on-site supervision and no concurrent duties.

• B: A 5:1 ratio is more restrictive than what the rule requires and is not the ceiling WAC 246-841A-440 sets.
• C: An 8:1 ratio is stricter than the rule's actual maximum and would not reflect the regulatory ceiling.
• D: A 15:1 ratio exceeds the maximum the rule allows and would leave clinical students without adequate direct supervision.

Correct answer: A. 108 hours

WAC 246-841A-440 sets the minimum total program length at 108 hours, combining classroom theory, skills lab, and clinical training.

• B: Ninety hours falls short of the 108-hour minimum the rule requires across the three required training components.
• C: One hundred twenty hours overstates the regulatory minimum; programs may exceed 108 hours, but that is not the floor the rule sets.
• D: Seventy-five hours is well below the 108-hour minimum and would not satisfy the classroom, skills lab, and clinical requirements combined.

Correct answer: B. 35 hours

WAC 246-841A-440 requires a minimum of 35 hours of classroom theory as one of the three required components of the total 108 hours.

• A: Thirty hours understates the classroom theory minimum the rule sets within the 108-hour total.
• C: Forty hours overstates the classroom theory minimum; that figure exceeds what the rule specifically requires for the theory portion.
• D: Twenty-five hours falls short of the 35-hour classroom theory minimum the rule establishes.

Correct answer: C. 33 hours

WAC 246-841A-440 requires a minimum of 33 hours of skills lab training, distinct from the classroom theory and clinical components.

• A: Twenty-eight hours is below the 33-hour skills lab minimum WAC 246-841A-440 sets.
• B: Thirty-eight hours overstates the skills lab minimum; the rule requires at least 33 hours, not 38.
• D: Twenty hours is substantially below the 33-hour skills lab minimum and would not meet the rule's requirement.

Correct answer: C. 3 days

WAC 246-841A-403 requires nursing home students to apply for a nursing assistant registration within three days of hire, before they may work unsupervised on the floor.

• A: WAC 246-841A-403 sets the application window at three days, not a same-day 24-hour requirement.
• B: Ten days exceeds the three-day window the rule actually sets for nursing home hires to apply for a nursing assistant registration.
• D: Thirty days is far longer than the rule allows and would leave an unregistered student working in a nursing home for an extended, noncompliant period.
