Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Practice Exam

What would a nursing assistant employer discover about a new employee on the Registry?

1. Previous salary information

2. Full name, home address, any reported incidents of abuse or neglect

3. Marital status

4. Medical history

The correct answer is: Full name, home address, any reported incidents of abuse or neglect

The correct answer is the option that indicates that an employer would discover the full name, home address, and any reported incidents of abuse or neglect about a new employee on the Registry. This information is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of patients and clients in healthcare settings. The Registry serves as a comprehensive database that tracks the qualifications and backgrounds of nursing assistants, including any allegations or findings of abuse or neglect. This transparency helps employers make informed hiring decisions and maintain the quality of care provided to patients. In this context, other information such as previous salary, marital status, or medical history is typically not included in the Registry. This is because the focus of the Registry is on the professional qualifications and any incidents related to patient care, rather than personal or financial details, which are not relevant to the assessment of a candidate’s ability to provide safe and competent care.
