of a recent blood test. What does the CNA respond?

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

The CNA should not discuss medical procedures or diagnostic information. The patient
has a right to privacy. When a family member asks the aide about a patient's care or
health, assist the family and ask the nurse on duty to speak with them about a procedure
of this kind.
The patient demonstrates the beginning stages of dehydration (dark yellow urine in
small amounts, headache, sunken eyes, lethargy) but refuses fluids. Which is the best
response by the CNA?
A. The resident can go home and care for himself because he knows what is in his best
interest.
B. Explain dehydration complications, respect his decision, and report his status to the
,nurse.
C. Request an IV for the patient so that, in this way, he'll be hydrated without taking
anything.
D. Have him drink some water now since dehydration can be deadly. -Answer B. Explain
to him the consequences of becoming dehydrated, respect his choice, and report to the
nurse about his status.
A patient has the right to refuse a treatment even if this is not in his best interest. In this
situation, the CNA must explain that hydration is very crucial to a person's
health and notify the nurse that the patient is refusing treatment. Forcing a patient to
drink water is considered abuse. A CNA should NEVER hang an IV, and the CNA does
not have the legal right to discharge a patient.
If a patient refuses care and the CNA provides this care to the patient anyway, which of
the following may happen to the CNA?
A. Nothing, because the CNA should perform care on the patients whether it is desired
or not.

C. The CNA will be promoted floor leader because he can get things accomplished.
D. The CNA could be charged with assault or battery. - Answer D. The CNA could be
charged with assault or battery.
A CNA can be charged with assault for threatening to perform care or battery for
touching a patient (providing care) without the patient's consent. A patient must give
consent for treatment. Treating a patient without the patient's consent violates the
patient's rights. A CNA could get fired or even arrested for this type of behavior.
Which is NOT a valid reason for a CNA to refuse an assignment?
A. The CNA is mad because of a personal dispute with the resident's family member.
B. The CNA believes the task constitutes a violation of morality.
, C. The task is outside the scope of practice for the CNA.
D. The activity may harm the CNA. - Answer A. The CNA has a personal issue with the
resident's family.
A personal problem with a resident's family is not a valid excuse to refuse to perform an
activity. If the activity is not within the CNA's scope of practice, the activity is
dangerous, or if the CNA believes it is unethical, then the CNA should explain to the
nurse, in a calm professional manner, why she is refusing to undertake the task.
Which should the CNA NOT do as a health care professional?
A. Arrive to work on time, or even 5-10 minutes early.
B. Work single-handedly to take care of patients.
C. Eat well and get plenty of exercise and sleep.
D. Come to work well groomed in a clean uniform. - B. Take care of patients alone.

herself

B. A DNR order
