Michigan CNA Skills Practice Test

Which statement about indirect care is true?

It focuses only on physical tasks It ignores the resident's safety It uses standard precautions and infection control measures during care It excludes residents' safety concerns

Correct Answer:

It uses standard precautions and infection control measures during care

Explanation:

Indirect care is about actions that support safety and a clean, prepared care environment, not direct hands-on treatment. The true statement is that standard precautions and infection control measures are used during care, because practices like hand hygiene, using PPE, cleaning and disinfecting equipment, and keeping the area safe and orderly protect both residents and staff and are applied with every care activity. This emphasis on safety and infection control remains essential whether you’re assisting with daily activities or preparing a resident’s room. Thinking indirect care is limited to physical tasks, or that safety isn’t part of it, would miss how these duties are meant to protect overall well-being.
