Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What should a nursing assistant do with an extra flat sheet accidentally brought into a resident's room?

Leave it on the bed for the resident

Use it as an extra layer under the resident

Place it in a clean linen closet

Place it in the soiled hamper

An extra flat sheet accidentally brought into a resident's room should be placed in the soiled hamper. This is the correct answer because any linen that has entered a resident's room, intentionally or unintentionally, is considered contaminated and must be disposed of properly to maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of infection.

Leaving it on the bed for the resident (Choice A) is not the correct course of action, as the sheet is now considered soiled and cannot be used for the resident. Using it as an extra layer under the resident (Choice B) is also not appropriate due to contamination concerns. Placing it in a clean linen closet (Choice C) is not the right choice either, as the sheet is no longer clean.
