Arizona Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Practice Test

Respecting the resident’s privacy is crucial when performing personal hygiene tasks. This action helps maintain the dignity and comfort of the resident, as personal hygiene can be a sensitive matter for many individuals. By ensuring privacy, a CNA establishes a safe and trusting environment, enabling the resident to feel secure and respected during the process. Privacy can be maintained by using curtains, closing doors, or covering the resident appropriately, which all contribute to a positive experience. This approach aligns with the values of person-centered care, promoting the resident's autonomy and comfort during personal care activities. Other options, which may involve hasty procedures, lack of appropriate temperature for water, or minimizing the involvement of residents in their own care, do not align with the principles of respectful and effective personal hygiene practices.
