An HHA observes a patient's skin is red and irritated in an area that was previously normal. What is the HHA's immediate responsibility?

Apply a medicated cream to the area. Document the observation and report it to the supervising nurse. Massage the reddened area to improve circulation. Ignore it, as minor skin changes are common in elderly patients.

Correct Answer:

Document the observation and report it to the supervising nurse.

Explanation:

HHAs are responsible for observing and reporting changes in a patient's condition to the supervising nurse. Applying medication or massaging irritated skin is outside the HHA's scope of practice.
