Home › CNA Practice Tests › Role of the Nurse Aide Questions › Question 115
A coworker asks the aide to chart vital signs that the coworker took. What should the aide do?
- A.Chart them and sign the coworker's name to help out
- B.Chart them without any signature so no one is blamed
- C.Copy the values from memory if they sound reasonable
- D.Decline, because each person must chart and sign only their own work
Correct answer
D. Decline, because each person must chart and sign only their own work
Why
Each staff member is responsible for documenting and signing only the care and measurements they personally performed. Charting for someone else, with or without a signature, makes the record unreliable and is not allowed.
