Answer to Question 1

B
The House of Representatives Patient Safety Act of 1996 was established to assist with nurse staffing and ensure safe staffing levels to promote quality and safe patient outcomes. This includes the use of an appropriate staff skill mix. The act ensures that a registered nurse is assigned to every patient (not a nursing assistive personnel). The act also states that nursing assistive personnel (NAP) may perform duties such as bathing, feeding, toileting, and ambulating patients, and reporting information regarding these activities to the registered nurse. NAPs may not perform patient assessments. The Code of Federal Regulations 42 CFR 483.156 requires states to maintain a list of nursing assistive personnel who work in long-term care facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid.
