True/False: Master patients should be admitted into the same department as your training patients.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. False; Master patients should be admitted to a department not used in training
• D. Not specified

Answer: (C)

The main idea is to keep master patients separate from the training environment to protect care quality and learning integrity. If master patients share the same department with training patients, supervision becomes blurred and bias can creep into how a trainee’s performance is observed and assessed. Placing master patients in a department not used for training ensures their care is handled by established staff without the training workflow influencing it, and it allows instructors to evaluate trainees in a clean, controlled setting. So, the statement is false, and the recommended practice is to admit master patients to a department not used in training.
