Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Practice Exam

The nursing assistant provides care to individuals who are unable to care for themselves at home but do not need an acute care setting. This nursing assistant would most likely care for individuals at which facility?

1. Assisted living facility

2. Hospice care

3. Long term care

4. Rehabilitation center

The correct answer is: Long term care

The nursing assistant would most likely care for individuals at a long-term care facility, as this type of facility is specifically designed for individuals who require assistance with daily activities and cannot live independently at home but do not need the intensive medical care provided in a hospital or acute care setting. Long-term care facilities offer support for residents with chronic illnesses or disabilities, providing them with assistance in personal care, meals, and activities of daily living. Assisted living facilities do provide some level of personal support, but they typically cater to those who need less assistance than what is offered in long-term care. Hospice care focuses on comfort and end-of-life support for terminally ill patients, often in their final days rather than long-term care. Rehabilitation centers are intended for individuals recovering from surgery, injury, or illness and usually provide short-term care focusing on regaining independence rather than long-term care needs.
