Certified Nursing Assistant Exam Prep

Category - Role of the Aide

Nika Harris, CNA, is assigned to the medical ward, and she is assigned to a new client for the shift. She wants to know about the client’s case and the past nursing care and therapeutic management. Ms. Harris therefore reads the:
  1. Flow sheet.
  2. Kardex.
  3. Progress notes.
  4. Nursing discharge summary.
Explanation
Answer: B -The Kardex is a widely used, concise method of organizing and recording data about a client, making information quickly accessible to all members of the health care team. The Kardex reveals specific data about the client, including therapeutic management and nursing care. A flow sheet, on the other hand, enables nurses to record nursing data quickly and concisely to provide an easy-to-read record of the client’s condition over time. Progress notes provide information about the progress a client is making. Lastly, the nursing discharge summary is completed only when the client is being discharged.
