A resident requests a bed bath but also mentions mild dizziness. What should the CNA do?

Question

Accepted Answer

Report the dizziness to the nurse before bathing and follow nurse directions. Dizziness can indicate a medical issue, so the nurse should be informed before proceeding with care. The nurse can assess and provide appropriate direction. Proceeding despite the symptom (A) could cause harm. Canceling care without nurse assessment (B) is not appropriate. Giving fluids alone (D) doesn't address the need for nurse evaluation.
