Misconduct, which constitutes grounds for revocation, suspension,
			 or other restriction of a license or limitation or other discipline of a
			 licensee, is a satisfactory showing to the board of:
(1) Use of a false, fraudulent, or forged
		  statement or document or committing a fraudulent, deceitful, or dishonest act
		  or omitting a material fact in obtaining licensure under this
		  article;
(2) Acting in a manner
		  inconsistent with the health or safety of the patients of the nursing home or
		  community residential facility;
(3)
		  Cancellation, revocation, suspensions or other discipline of a license to
		  practice any regulated profession or occupation in any state or
		  jurisdiction;
(4) Failing to ensure
		  that the nursing home or community residential care facility in which he is an
		  administrator complies with the provisions of law and regulations of the
		  licensing or supervising authority or agency whether federal, state, or local,
		  having jurisdiction over the operation and licensing of the nursing home or
		  community residential care facility;
(5) Intentional or knowing, direct or
		  indirect, violation of or the aiding and abetting in the violation of this
		  article or a regulation promulgated under this article;
(6) Failing to operate a nursing home or
		  community residential care facility in manner which ensures the safety, health,
		  and welfare of the patients;
(7)
		  Use of a false, fraudulent, or forged statement in the practice of nursing home
		  administration or community residential care facility administration;
(8) Supervising or aiding an unlicensed
		  person in the practice of nursing home administration or community residential
		  care facility administration;
(9)
		  Permitting unauthorized disclosure of information relating to a patient in a
		  nursing home or community residential care facility under his
		  administration;
(10) Obtaining
		  compensation or assisting in obtaining compensation under fraudulent
		  circumstances;
(11) A dishonorable,
		  unethical, or unprofessional act that is likely to deceive, defraud, or harm
		  the public;
(12) Use of alcohol,
		  drugs, or controlled substances to such a degree as to adversely affect the
		  ability to act as a nursing home administrator or community residential care
		  facility administrator;
(13) A
		  mental or physical disability or addiction which renders further practice
		  dangerous to the public or to the residents of the nursing home or community
		  residential care facility;
(14)
		  Conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony, as defined
		  under the law of this State, or any crime involving the safety, health, or
		  welfare of a resident, or any other crime involving moral turpitude. The
		  license of a person who is convicted of, or who pleads guilty or nolo
		  contendere to those crimes mentioned in this item immediately may be suspended
		  temporarily pending final disposition of a disciplinary proceeding to be
		  commenced upon the conviction or the entry of the plea of guilty or nolo
		  contendere. A person so suspended must be reinstated immediately upon the
		  filing of a certificate that the conviction has been reversed. The
		  reinstatement does not terminate a disciplinary action pending against the
		  person. The license of a person maybe suspended immediately pending final
		  disposition of a disciplinary proceeding where the Board has probable cause to
		  believe that continued practice as a nursing home administrator or community
		  residential care facility administrator by the licensee constitutes harm to the
		  safety, health, or welfare of patients in a nursing home or community
		  residential care facility.
