One common NA task.

• A. Bathing Residents
• B. Administering medications
• C. Performing surgeries
• D. Diagnosing conditions

Answer: (A)

Assisting with activities of daily living is central to the NA role, and bathing residents is a routine task that keeps them clean, comfortable, and safe. Regular bathing supports skin health, helps prevent infections, and gives the NA a chance to notice changes in skin condition, mobility, or comfort and to report anything unusual to the nurse. Administering medications is a licensed nursing function that requires training and authorization; performing surgeries and diagnosing conditions involve medical procedures and professional judgment beyond the NA scope. Bathing residents best fits the typical daily care duties of a nursing assistant, making it the correct choice.
