Which of the following is considered a Prohibited Health Condition?

A naso-gastric tube is considered a Prohibited Health Condition because its usage typically indicates that a resident has a higher level of medical complexity and requires more intensive medical management than is appropriate for an adult residential facility. These tubes are often used for nutritional support in individuals who cannot eat by mouth; therefore, their presence signifies that the resident may have significant health issues that need specialized care.

In this context, insulin-dependent diabetes, staph infections, and gastroestomies, while they may require careful monitoring and treatment, can potentially be managed in a residential care facility with the appropriate level of staffing and resources. This is why they are not included as prohibited health conditions, as the facility can accommodate these needs with adequately trained personnel. The guidelines for residential care facilities specifically outline the types of health conditions that can be safely managed, and the presence of a naso-gastric tube often surpasses those thresholds.
