In which situation would the LPN/LVN charge nurse be in violation of OBRA provisions?
a. Letting the unit secretary, who has completed 30 hours of instruction in a CNA program, bathe and ambulate a resident
b. Allowing a son to feed his father, who is a resident on the unit
c. Scheduling a nursing assistant to attend a 2-hour in-service training session
d. Notifying the RN supervisor that a nursing assistant needs additional training in administration of tap water enemas
ANS: A
OBRA regulations call for all nursing assistants to be certified. Permitting an uncertified employee to perform the duties of a CNA violates OBRA regulations. Allowing a son to feed his father is permissible. Scheduling a nursing assistant to attend a 2-hour in-service training session and notifying the RN supervisor that a nursing assistant needs additional training are appropriate.

A researcher locates twelve research studies that all examine the effect of a different cognitive-behavioral strategy for decreasing pain—hypnosis, distraction, focusing, music therapy, and so forth
Why would these twelve studies make a poor meta-analysis? a. Cognitive-behavioral interventions are not a suitable focus for all patients, and consequently should not be studied. b. Twelve studies would be too many for synthesis of any kind. c. Secondary analyses of pooled data are not used for meta-analysis on pain, because of interindividual differences in perception. d. The result, if statistically significant, will produce a general recommendation, "If in pain, do something cognitive-behavioral," which is meaningless.
