Is it required for a nurse to have a background in mental health in order to evaluate a patient's mental
health?

No, "Nurses should convey a feeling of comfort, tranquility, and normality in a universe of health checks,
prescriptions, operations, and injections. Nurses are the most frequent healthcare providers, so patients

them with mental issues. They must be capable of managing patients' abrupt emotional outbursts
calmly but should report any concerns to the doctor."

Which one of the 5 senses is the last to be taken away from a dying patient?

Hearing, "A patient's loved ones and visitors should be aware that even if they can no longer converse

feeling to be lost for most dying patients, even if their other senses have declined."

Your patient just found out that her husband had died. What's the appropriate course of action for the
CNAs to take while dealing with this particular patient?

"The loss of a loved one may need that your patient explores their emotions and recollections of that
loss. In some cases, the best thing you can do for a patient is just sit with them and provide them with
some emotional support. Your patient may not be able to cope with their sorrow if you shift the
discussion, use comedy, or invite other individuals into the session when they don't feel the need to talk
to anybody."
