Colorado CNA Practice Exam

What should a nursing assistant do when leaving a resident's room?

1. Turn off all lights

2. Leave the unit tidy

3. Remove all personal items

4. Lock the door

The correct answer is: Leave the unit tidy

When leaving a resident's room, it is important for a nursing assistant to leave the unit tidy to ensure the safety and comfort of the resident. Turning off all lights (A) may be necessary in some situations, but it is not the main responsibility of a nursing assistant when leaving a resident's room. Removing all personal items (C) should only be done with the resident's permission. Locking the door (D) is important for security purposes, but it is usually the responsibility of the facility staff, not the nursing assistant. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and relevant answer.
