This statement demonstrates that the nurse assistant is complaining about her job obligations. Conflicts at work should be dealt with through proper channels, not by complaining in front of co-workers. The other options are appropriate statements. Be honest in doing a procedure for the first time and clarify matters if you do not understand the instructions. By informing another co-worker during your break time, you are ensuring continuity of care and client safety. Asking for help in performing a procedure is also encouraged. Do not assume that you can carry it out all by yourself. You may place the client in a compromised situation.
