You are documenting resident care. A family member asks to see the resident's chart. What should you do?

Question

Accepted Answer

Direct them to speak with the nurse or appropriate staff about accessing records. The correct answer is C. Medical records access is regulated by law and facility policy. Family members may have rights to access records, but this must go through proper channels with the resident's consent. CNAs should not independently provide or deny record access. Choice A violates proper procedures. Choice B is incomplete (families may have legal access rights). Choice D allows inappropriate selection of information.
