Home › CNA Practice Tests › Role of the Nurse Aide Questions › Question 58
If your supervisor does not act on a report of abuse, the aide should:
- A.Follow the chain of command and facility policy, which may include reporting to a higher authority or the state agency and ombudsman
- B.Drop the matter
- C.Post about it on social media
- D.Tell the resident nothing can be done
Correct answer
A. Follow the chain of command and facility policy, which may include reporting to a higher authority or the state agency and ombudsman
Why
If an internal report is not addressed, the aide must continue to escalate through proper channels, including state reporting agencies as required by law. Social media is never the reporting route.
