Question 1 • Nursing Assistant - EL3610

Which best describes the role of a restorative nursing assistant?

Answer

suggesting that a patient who can walk, but is not very sturdy on his feet, use a wheelchair

putting an oxygen tank on a patient while he is sleeping and not experiencing labored breathing

allowing a patient who is having trouble speaking to write down what she wants instead of talking

standing outside the restroom in case a patient needs assistance while she is in there

Explanation

A restorative nursing assistant helps patients maintain or improve their abilities while supporting as much independence as possible. Waiting outside the restroom in case the patient needs help provides safety without taking over a task she can do herself. Suggesting a wheelchair for someone who can walk may unnecessarily limit mobility, and giving oxygen without a need is not appropriate.
