Question

Which of the following would you NOT tell the patient?

a.
"My name is Jackie and I'm your CNA today."
b.
"I am going to be taking your vital signs. Is that ok?
c.
"I am going to count your respirations."
d. "I'm going to wash my hands and get my supplies."

Answer 1

The statement that would NOT be appropriate to tell the patient is:

d. "I'm going to wash my hands and get my supplies."

This statement is not necessary to communicate to the patient and might not be relevant to their care. It's important to prioritize information that directly relates to the patient's well-being, comfort, or understanding of the procedures being performed.
