d) All of the above.
Answer: a) Knock on the resident's door before entering
It is important to remember that the residents live in a facility. This is
their home. Thus, it is important to knock on the door of a resident's
room before walking in. Understanding the care plan is very important,
but the CNA may not need to read this document before entering a
resident's room on each and every occasion during a shift. Restocking
the resident's room is also important, but the CNA may not need to do
this each and every time they walk into a resident's room.
●● What needs are found on the lowest level of Maslow's hierarchy of
needs?
a) Love and belonging
b) Self-esteem
, c) Safety and security
d) Physical.
Answer: d) Physical
All humans meet their basic physical needs for survival first (which
means food, water, shelter, etc.). Once those are met, people need safety
and security, followed by love and belonging, self-esteem, and finally,
self-actualization.
●● A patient's family asks the CNA caring for a loved one about the
results of a recent blood test. What should the CNA say?
a) I think everything is normal, which is great!
b) Let me find the nurse to talk to you about the results
c) Oh, he had a blood test? That is news to me.
d) I cannot comment on patient treatment. Sorry..
Answer: b) Let me find the nurse to talk to you about the results
The CNA should not comment on medical procedures or diagnostic
information. The patient has a right to privacy. When a family member
asks about a patient's care or health, help the family and ask the nurse on
duty to speak with them about a procedure of this kind.
