Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Both STNA and CNA are nursing assistants.

Answer: True

Yes, they both are. "STNA" stands for State Tested Nursing Assistant, and "CNA" stands for Certified Nursing Assistant.

2. In a non emergency situation what should you, a nursing assistant, do before entering a patient's room (after washing your hands)?

Answer: knock

You should always knock before you enter their room. After all, this is their home.

3. If one of your residents refuses to eat, you should do what?

Answer: Say, "I will bring something later if you want it."

They have the right to eat or not. It is also against the law to force someone to eat.

4. As a nursing assistant, you notice a bruise on a patient, what you should do?

Answer: tell the nurse

Always tell the nurse. As a STNA, you are the main person in contact with them. Something as simple as a bruise could mean that there needs to be a change in their meds.

5. With today's health risks, for which task should a nursing assistant wear gloves?

Answer: all of these

Whenever you come in contact with a bodily fluid, no matter which one it is, you should always wear gloves.

6. Doing peri-care on a resident means that you wash all of the main areas, i.e. face, armpits, hands, feet, and bottom.

Answer: False

No, peri-care is just taking care of the bottom area.

7. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Tangle are residents in the home. You find them having sex. What should you do?

Answer: advise the nurse

Although they have the right to do that, by reporting to the nurse he/she can make arrangements to ensure privacy and also check that both partners are consenting. They can also live in the same room if they wish.

8. One of your residents hits you frequently. You have had enough of this and decide to put a stop to it. What should you do in the first instance?

Answer: Tell them firmly not to hit you.

Restraints, unless ordered by a doctor, are against the law, so is hitting them. You do not have to take it, either. So the best way is to tell them that you do not like it. If they persist in hitting you, it will be necessary to raise the matter with a higher authority.

9. A family member comes in and asks you why her mother has a bed sore on her foot. You tell her?

Answer: "The nurse can answer that for you."

The nurse should answer all questions like that. Sadly enough, most homes are always short handed. Answering questions like this can open you and your employer up for major law suits if answered the wrong way.

10. A resident wants a piece of candy. You should _____ ?

Answer: ask the nurse

You should always ask the nurse about stuff like that. If the resident is diabetic, has a swallowing problem, or other health issues, the candy might be dangerous. You could kill a patient with a poor gag reflex by giving her candy!
