Arizona Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Practice Test

When a resident who typically walks independently suddenly requests assistance, it is a sign that there may be a change in their condition or well-being. Assisting the resident as requested is important for their safety and comfort. Additionally, reporting this change to the charge nurse ensures that any potential issues can be assessed and monitored appropriately. Changes in a resident's mobility or the need for assistance can indicate underlying health problems that need further evaluation by clinical staff. This collaborative approach among caregivers helps maintain the resident's safety and promotes optimal care.
