Certified Nursing Assistant Exam Prep

Answer: C - The nurse aide can best decrease the risk of malpractice claims and litigation by maintaining expertise in practice. This can be accomplished by keeping up-to-date in knowledge and skills and practicing within the statutory scope of practice. The nurse aide should not offer value judgments at any time or discuss errors with the family. Incident reports should be kept on file, in the care of a supervisor or manager, but they do not decrease the risk of malpractice litigation.
