THE FOLLOWING ARE THREE CLINICAL SCENARIOS. KINDLY ANSWER EACH SECTION PRECISELY & CONCISELY:
- During morning care, a coworker is heard telling a resident, “If you wet your pants again, I will not lay you down after lunch.” What type of abuse does this statement represent? What should you do?
- The nursing center has four scheduled CNAs assigned to the wing in which you are working. You are assigned to a resident who is combative and a fall risk. One of your coworkers walks past your combative resident’s room and sees the resident trying to get out of bed. What should your coworker do first? What safety concerns must be monitored? How could the coworker display teamwork in this situation?
- You and a coworker are assisting a resident in the shower. You go to the resident’s room to get her sweater. When you return, you enter the shower room and see your coworker spraying the resident in the face with the water nozzle. Is this a type of abuse? What will you do next?
