CNA Resident’s Rights 2

Question 1

Of the human needs listed below, which are considered basic?

Accepted Answer

All of the above

Answer

According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, basic human needs encompass physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Social, spiritual, and sexual needs are integral components of a person's overall well-being and quality of life, falling under these broader categories. Therefore, all listed options are considered fundamental aspects of human experience and are basic needs.

Question 2

An aide puts a resident in a reclining position in a geri-chair, so he cannot stand up while the aide takes care of other residents. This is a violation of resident's right to ________.

Accepted Answer

be free from restraints

Answer

A geri-chair, when used to prevent a resident from standing up against their will, functions as a physical restraint. Restraining a resident solely for staff convenience, rather than for their safety or medical necessity, directly violates their right to be free from restraints. This practice can lead to physical and psychological harm and is strictly prohibited under resident rights regulations.

Question 3

It is appropriate for a nurse aide to share the information regarding a client’s status with

Accepted Answer

The staff on the next shift

Answer

Sharing client information is governed by HIPAA and the principle of confidentiality. A nurse aide can only share information with other healthcare professionals directly involved in the client's care, such as the staff on the next shift, to ensure continuity of care. Sharing information with family, friends, or roommates without explicit consent violates the client's privacy rights.

Question 4

Who should manage the resident's finances?

Accepted Answer

The resident

Answer

Competent adults have the fundamental right to manage their own finances, regardless of their living situation in a long-term care facility. This right is a crucial aspect of their autonomy and self-determination. If a resident is deemed legally incompetent, a designated legal guardian or power of attorney would manage their finances, but the default right belongs to the resident.

Question 5

Residents have the right to file a complaint or grievance without fear of punishment. This procedure is guaranteed by

Accepted Answer

Resident Bill of Rights

Answer

The Resident Bill of Rights, mandated by federal law (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 - OBRA '87), guarantees residents in long-term care facilities the right to voice grievances without fear of punishment. This provision ensures residents can advocate for themselves and report concerns about their care or facility conditions. It promotes their dignity, well-being, and accountability within the healthcare system.
