CNA Resident’s Rights 3

Question 1

In giving care according to the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law, the nurse aide SHOULD

Accepted Answer

provide privacy during the client’s personal care.

Answer

The 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law (OBRA '87) emphasizes residents' rights, including the right to privacy and dignity. Providing privacy during personal care, such as bathing or dressing, respects the client's personal space and autonomy. The other options describe actions that violate client rights or are unprofessional, directly contradicting the principles of this law.

Question 2

Restraints should be unfastened or released

Accepted Answer

Q1-2 hours

Answer

Restraints restrict a patient's movement and can lead to serious complications like skin breakdown, poor circulation, and psychological distress. To prevent these issues and ensure patient comfort and safety, restraints must be released or unfastened at least every 1-2 hours. This allows for repositioning, toileting, range-of-motion exercises, and assessment of skin integrity and circulation.

Question 3

If a client is sitting in a chair in his room masturbating, the nurse aide SHOULD

Accepted Answer

leave the client alone and provide privacy.

Answer

Masturbation is a normal human behavior, and clients in care facilities have a right to privacy and to express their sexuality. The nurse aide should respect this right by providing privacy, such as closing the door, and not making the client feel ashamed or embarrassed. Reporting it to other aides or telling them to stop is a violation of their dignity and privacy.

Question 4

The Patient’s Bill of Rights includes

Accepted Answer

freedom of choice.

Answer

The Patient's Bill of Rights, established to protect patients in healthcare settings, includes the fundamental right to make informed decisions about their care, refuse treatment, and choose their providers. This encompasses the broader concept of freedom of choice regarding their medical care and personal life within the facility. The other options are not core components of the Patient's Bill of Rights.

Question 5

When giving care to a client, the nurse aide should avoid unnecessary exposure of the client in order to protect the client’s right to

Accepted Answer

privacy.

Answer

Unnecessary exposure of a client during care directly violates their right to privacy and dignity. CNAs are responsible for ensuring that clients are covered and that their bodies are not exposed more than necessary during procedures like bathing, dressing, or examinations. This practice helps maintain their personal space and respect, upholding their right to privacy.
