As a CNA, what can you do to help a resident who is being discharged?

  1. Call a taxi for them

  2. Help pack the resident's things away

  3. Leave the packing to the family

  4. Remind them to check out at the front desk

The correct answer is: Call a taxi for them

As a CNA, you should take responsibility for helping the resident with tasks that directly relate to their well-being, such as calling a taxi. The other options do not prioritize the resident's needs and may not actually help them with their discharge. Helping pack their things or asking the family to do so may not be possible if they are unable to do it themselves, and reminding them to check out at the front desk assumes they are aware of the necessary steps for discharge. As a healthcare professional, it is your duty to ensure that the resident has a safe and smooth transition when leaving the facility, and calling a taxi would be the most effective way to support them in this situation.
