What is a "nursing assistant"?

A person who primarily provides direct care services to residents without being registered or licensed
A person who is responsible for administrative tasks in a nursing home
A licensed practical nurse working under the direction of a registered nurse
A person who provides therapy services only

The correct answer is: A person who primarily provides direct care services to residents without being registered or licensed

A nursing assistant is a person who primarily provides direct care services to residents without being registered or licensed. They assist residents with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating, as well as provide emotional support and companionship. Nursing assistants play a crucial role in the healthcare team in a nursing home setting by directly caring for residents under the supervision of licensed healthcare professionals. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the role of a nursing assistant. Option B refers to administrative tasks, option C describes a licensed practical nurse, and option D refers to providing therapy services, which are different roles within a healthcare setting.
