In the nursing home example, CNAs are not useful because they rarely see the patient.

Not specified True Always essential False

Correct Answer:

False

Explanation:

Frequent, hands-on interaction with residents is what makes CNAs invaluable in a nursing home. They’re at residents’ sides for daily tasks—bathe, dress, feed, assist with mobility, and help with toileting—so they routinely observe changes in condition, mood, intake, hydration, skin integrity, and safety. Because they see residents many times a day, CNAs can notice subtle shifts early and promptly relay them to licensed staff, enabling quicker assessment and intervention. This daily presence supports consistent care, supports care plans, and helps prevent complications. So the idea that CNAs aren’t useful because they rarely see the patient doesn’t align with how care is delivered; their role is essential and built on continuous, close contact with residents.
