✍️ Sample UNAR Questions & Answers

1. Under OBRA regulations, nursing facility residents have the right to:

✓ Be free from unnecessary physical and chemical restraints

OBRA mandates that residents be free from any physical or chemical restraint imposed for discipline or staff convenience.

2. What are basic resident rights in long-term care?

✓ Privacy, dignity, freedom from abuse, self-determination, and access to personal belongings

Federal and state laws protect residents' rights to privacy, dignity, and self-determination in care settings.

3. A nursing assistant forgot to document a resident's vital signs at 8 AM. It is now 11 AM. What is the correct way to handle this?

✓ Write a late entry with the current time and note it as a late entry for 8 AM

A late entry is acceptable and must be labeled as such, documenting both the time of the actual event and the time of the entry.

4. A resident with dementia insists they must go home to take care of their children. What is the best response?

✓ Acknowledge their feelings and redirect them to another activity

Arguing or correcting residents with dementia increases agitation. Responding to their feelings and redirecting them to a pleasant activity is the preferred approach.

5. What should be documented about nutritional intake?

✓ Percentage of meal eaten, fluid amounts consumed, any swallowing difficulties, and food preferences

Detailed nutritional documentation helps the care team assess adequacy and adjust plans.

6. Why should the CNA wear gloves while giving postmortem care?

✓ Standard precautions apply because body fluids may still be present

Standard precautions continue after death because blood and body fluids can still be released.
