Kentucky Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) Practice Test

Which task is a nursing assistant not allowed to perform?

Insert or remove tubes Bathe residents Assist with activities of daily living Take vital signs

Correct Answer:

Insert or remove tubes

Explanation:

Understanding what CNAs can do helps keep resident safety first. Inserting or removing tubes is not a task a nursing assistant is allowed to perform. Handling tubes involves invasive procedures and device management that require a licensed nurse to assess, supervise, and carry out. This protects residents from potential injuries, infections, or complications that can arise from manipulating tubes. By contrast, bathing residents, helping with activities of daily living, and taking vital signs are activities CNAs typically perform as part of daily care and monitoring, as long as they follow facility policies and work under supervision. They observe and report any changes to the nurse, who then provides further care or orders.
