What is the purpose of required in-service and continuing education for nurse aides?
- A.To allow aides to perform surgery after a short class
- B.To keep skills and knowledge current with safe care practices

- D.To give aides time off from all resident care duties
Correct answer
B. To keep skills and knowledge current with safe care practices
Why
In-service education updates aides on safety, infection control, resident rights, and care techniques so practice stays current. It does not expand scope to surgery or replace initial certification.
