CNA Using Adaptive Devices 5

Question 1

A resident uses a urinary catheter drainage bag. When repositioning the bag, the CNA must ensure the bag is always:

Accepted Answer

Below the level of the bladder to prevent backflow

Answer

The drainage bag must always be kept below bladder level to use gravity for drainage and prevent urine from flowing back into the bladder, which could cause infection.

Question 2

Which adaptive eating utensil is MOST appropriate for a resident who has tremors in both hands?

Accepted Answer

A weighted utensil set

Answer

Weighted utensils add resistance that helps dampen the effects of tremors, allowing residents to bring food to their mouths with greater control.

Question 3

A resident with a colostomy bag reports that the seal around the stoma is leaking. The CNA's BEST response is to:

Accepted Answer

Notify the nurse immediately and assist with peristomal skin care as directed

Answer

A leaking colostomy seal can cause skin breakdown and must be reported to the nurse promptly so it can be properly replaced and the skin assessed.

Question 4

When cleaning a resident's eyeglasses, the CNA should use:

Accepted Answer

A soft microfiber cloth with lens cleaner or warm water

Answer

Microfiber cloths and appropriate lens cleaner prevent scratching the lenses, while paper towels and harsh chemicals can damage coatings.

Question 5

A resident who uses a walker is preparing to sit down in a chair. The CNA should instruct the resident to:

Accepted Answer

Place the walker to the side, reach back for the chair armrests, then sit

Answer

Walkers are not designed to bear full sitting weight; the resident should secure the walker aside and use the chair's armrests for safe lowering.
