Prior to the start of your shift, the CNA you replaced told you about a specific task you were assigned on the shift report; however you are unsure of what to do. How do you handle this problem?
A. use your best judgment
B. consult your school textbook
C. ask your supervisor
D. ask the patient
Answer: C- See Section 2 of the CNA Study Guide (Receiving Assignments).
If you are unsure about a specific task or procedure, don’t be afraid to ask your supervisor to clarify it for you. It’s always better to ask than to make a mistake because you didn’t completely understand the assignment.
Your old school textbook is a good source of information; however, the patients you take care of are unique, and will have their own set of specific needs that may not be outlined in a general nursing aide textbook. Your place of employment may also have procedures that could be very different from other institutions across the country.
To avoid confusion when you receive assignments on the shift report, it is always a good idea to stay current on common medical abbreviations. Healthcare professions are well-known for their use of abbreviations due to the fact that the nursing staff has to accomplish a wide variety of tasks in a short amount of time.
