Member of the Health Care TeamDifficulty 3/5

A family member asks an aide to perform a task the aide has not been trained in. What should the aide do?

  1. AAsk another aide to perform the task on the family's behalf
  2. BDecline the task and inform the licensed nurse of the request
  3. CAttempt the task carefully because the family has requested it
  4. DDecline the task and take no further action about the request
Show answer and rationale

Correct: B. Section 483.152(a)(4)(i) bars performing services one has not been trained in and found proficient at. Declining is half the answer; reporting is what turns a refusal into safe care.

  • C — Who asks does not change the training and proficiency requirement.
  • D — Declining silently leaves the underlying need unmet and the nurse unaware.
  • A — Passing an untrained task to a colleague does not make it appropriately delegated.

Who administers and evaluates the skills demonstration under federal rule?

  1. AThe director of nursing at the facility where the candidate is employed
  2. BAny certified nurse aide with at least three years of continuous experience
  3. CA registered nurse with at least one year caring for the elderly or chronically ill
  4. DA licensed practical nurse with at least two years in long-term care nursing
Show answer and rationale

Correct: C. Section 483.154(c)(4)(ii) sets exactly this requirement. It is distinct from the trainer requirement at 483.152(a)(5)(i), which is an RN with two years' experience including one in long-term care.

  • D — The rule names a registered nurse for the skills evaluation, not an LPN.
  • A — A facility director of nursing is barred from performing the actual training.
  • B — Experience as a nurse aide does not qualify a person to evaluate the demonstration.
