When working with a certified nursing assistant (CNA), a nurse appropriately intervenes when the CNA says to the patient or the patient's family which of the following? Select all that apply
1. "Could you ask your father to speak English with me? I heard him talk to you in English when we admitted him, but he'll only speak to me in Spanish, and I can't take care of him if I don't understand him."
2. "Yes, ma'am, if you'd like to get out of bed so you can kneel down to pray, I can help you do that. Can you kneel without difficulty?"
3. "Good morning, Muhammad—I'm just checking up on you. You asked us not to serve pork with your meals. Has the food service staff been complying with your wishes?"
4. "Yes, Mr. Assad. If you'd rather have a male nurse, I'll have one assigned to you right away."
5. "Hello, Mrs. Chang. I understand that until your surgery, you'd rather take some Chinese herbal medicine for your pain, instead of ibuprofen. We don't have any herbal medicine in stock here, so wouldn't you rather take some ibuprofen now and then get some herbal medicine later, after you're out of the hospital?"
ANS: 1, 3, 5
