Colorado CNA Practice Exam

With whom can a nursing assistant share information about residents?

1. Family members

2. Other residents

3. Other members of the care team

4. Visitors

The correct answer is: Other members of the care team

The nursing assistant is responsible for providing care to the residents and thus may need to share information about the residents with others in the care team to ensure their well-being. Family members (option A) may not be part of the care team and may not have a need for all the information. Other residents (option B) may not be involved in the care of the specific resident and sharing information with them may violate the privacy of the resident. Visitors (option D) may also not be involved in the care of the resident and may not have a need for all the information. Therefore, the only valid option for the nursing assistant to share information with is the other members of the care team (option C).
