CNA Project Planning & Execution 3

Question 1

A CNA is assigned 8 residents for the morning shift. Which task organization strategy is MOST effective?

Accepted Answer

Group residents by room location and perform time-sensitive tasks first

Answer

Clustering residents by location saves travel time, and addressing time-sensitive tasks first ensures safety and scheduled care is met.

Question 2

A nurse delegates a task to a CNA that the CNA has never been trained to perform. The CNA should:

Accepted Answer

Refuse and report that the task is outside their training

Answer

CNAs must only perform tasks within their scope of practice and training; accepting an unfamiliar task endangers the resident.

Question 3

Which document serves as the WRITTEN PLAN that guides all CNA interventions for a specific resident?

Accepted Answer

The individualized care plan

Answer

The individualized care plan outlines specific goals, interventions, and approaches tailored to each resident's unique needs.

Question 4

A resident's care plan specifies a 'restorative approach' to dressing. This means the CNA should:

Accepted Answer

Encourage and allow the resident to dress as independently as possible

Answer

A restorative approach promotes the resident's maximum independence and functional ability by allowing them to do as much as they can.

Question 5

During execution of a care plan, a CNA discovers an intervention is causing the resident discomfort. The CNA should:

Accepted Answer

Stop and notify the nurse so the plan can be evaluated

Answer

Resident comfort and safety supersede written interventions; the nurse must be notified so the plan can be reassessed.
