Home › CNA Practice Tests › Role of the Nurse Aide Questions › Question 132
The aide realizes traffic will make them 20 minutes late for a shift. What is the professional action?
- A.Notify the supervisor as soon as possible according to facility policy
- B.Say nothing and hope no one notices the late arrival
- C.Ask a coworker to clock in for you at the normal time
- D.Skip the shift entirely without calling the facility at all
Correct answer
A. Notify the supervisor as soon as possible according to facility policy
Why
Prompt notification per policy allows the supervisor to arrange coverage and protects resident care. Having someone else clock in is falsification, and silent lateness or absence leaves residents without planned care.
