What is the primary responsibility of a "nursing assistant"?
Conducting medical research
Providing therapy services
Providing direct care services to residents
Supervising other nurses
The correct answer is: Providing direct care services to residents
The correct answer is providing direct care services to residents. This is the primary responsibility of a nursing assistant. Nursing assistants work directly with residents, helping them with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Conducting medical research, providing therapy services, and supervising other nurses are not typically within the scope of practice for a nursing assistant.
