CNA exam practice question: Activities of Daily Living

Activities of Daily LivingDifficulty 2/5

Providing a curtain, screen or door during personal care is best described as what?

  1. AA resident right, and a scored step in the skills evaluation
  2. BA courtesy, offered when the resident specifically asks for it
  3. CAn infection control measure limiting airborne transmission
  4. DA facility preference that varies by state and by employer
Show answer and rationale

Correct: A. Section 483.152(b)(7)(i) names providing privacy among residents' rights, and privacy appears as a scored step in the NNAAP skill checklists. It is an entitlement, not a favour.

  • B — It is provided as standard; the resident should not have to request it.
  • C — Privacy protects dignity rather than controlling airborne transmission.
  • D — It is a federal resident right, not a local preference.

Concept being tested

13 of the 60 scored items. Hygiene, dressing and grooming, nutrition and hydration, elimination, and rest, sleep and comfort. These are also the personal care skills the federal rule requires the skills-evaluation pool to include. — 22% of the exam. Study guide for Activities of Daily Living.
