Essential CNA Practice Quiz: Prepare for Success in Your Certification Exam
The nursing assistant believes a resident may be experiencing abuse, based on several unexplained bruises, frequent refusal to answer questions, and neglect of ADLs. What should the nursing assistant do next?
Correct Incorrect Any abuse or suspected abuse in nursing facilities must be reported right away to the nursing assistant's supervisor. This situation requires more action than falls within the nursing assistant's responsibilities. Delaying action or only informing the nurse about bruises could delay providing the resident with the necessary assistance.
