Federal laws on long term care homes listed in chronological order by regulation number that pertain to the areas surveyed under OBRA legislation are called what?

• A. Ombudsmen
• B. Tag number ftag
• C. Validity
• D. Organizational culture

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how OBRA surveys reference federal requirements. In these inspections, each federal regulation a facility must follow is assigned a tag number, called an F-Tag or Federal Tag. Surveyors list deficiencies using these FTAG numbers, organized by the regulation number they correspond to. So the term that matches this description—federal requirements listed in order by their regulation numbers and cited as tag numbers—is “Tag number ftag.” Ombudsmen are resident advocates, validity isn’t about regulatory citations, and organizational culture describes the work environment, not the tagging system used in OBRA surveys.
