Question 2

You are working in a private home care setting. The nurse has delegated to you to give the patient a bath and perform ROM exercises. She calls you and states she is running behind today and asks you to perform an assessment and notify her of the results so she can include them in her notes and plan of care. What do you do?

Answer to Question 1

This is mental abuse. You should tell your co-worker that this is not something he or she should say to the resident. Confirm that the person is okay. Reassure the person that you will help. You should report this to the nurse immediately. The nurse will follow up and interview the person and communicate this with his or her supervisor.

Answer to Question 2

The bathing and ROM exercises are well within your role and if you have had the proper training you should feel competent and confident in performing these tasks. The assessment is beyond your role and scope of practice and should be performed by the RN. You should respectfully refuse to do this task and remind the nurse you are both working for the best interest of the patient.
