,A nursing assistant may not legally supervise, teach, or mentor other nursing

What should a CNA do if he or she sees a small fire in an unoccupied patient
room?*
A. Extinguish the fire.
B. Rescue residents in the rooms next door.
C. Activate the fire alarm.
D. Close all fire doors. - ✔✔✔ANSWER-C. Activate the fire alarm.
When encountering a fire use the acronym RACE (Rescue, Activate the alarm,

CNA should activate the alarm.
*Before entering a patient's room, a CNA should:*
A. Knock on the resident's door before entering.
B. Check the resident's care plan.
C. Make sure that the supplies are stocked for the unit.
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 the 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 that 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 must 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.
A patient is refusing to drink fluids even though he is beginning to show signs
of dehydration (concentrated urine, headache, sunken eyes, low energy).

B. Explain the risks of dehydration, respect his decision, and inform the nurse
about his condition.
C. Request an IV for the patient so that the patient can get fluids without
drinking anything.
D. Force him to drink water immediately, because dehydration is dangerous. -
✔✔✔ANSWER-B. Explain the risks of dehydration, respect his decision, and
inform the nurse about his condition.
A patient has the right to refuse treatment even if this is not in his best
interest. In this
situation, the CNA should explain that being hydrated is very important for a
person's
health, and then let the nurse know that the patient is refusing treatment.
