Assignment Task:
One day as a new CNA on the floor, you are overwhelmed with the amount of work you have, including showering 3 residents. You know that you will not be able to complete your work before your shift is over. What will you do? As a CNA you know that the nurse makes assessments and that you make observations that you report to the nurse. Name 3 things you might observe while caring for your residents that would be important to report to the nurse, enabling the nurse to further assess the resident. Later in the week, you are asked to assist the nurse with a pressure injury dressing change to a resident's sacrum. Can you assist the nurse? Why or why not? While assisting the nurse with the dressing change you notice a reddened area on the resident's back that you think is the beginning of another pressure injury. Do you report your observation to the nurse? Why or why not? Give an example of how you might describe your observations to the nurse. Your friend got a job as a CNA where you work. She is often coming to help you with your residents and chats with you. Need Assignment Help?
