The nurse should be sure that assistive personnel,such as CNAs,are aware of and follow all safety measures and institutional procedures.You can expect that a CNA can remove clutter and spills from a patient room,provide patients with nonskid slippers,lock beds and wheelchairs,and place a fall risk sign on a patient door.What cannot be delegated to assistive personnel is the assessment of a patient for fall risk.This is the responsibility of the nurse and is performed at the time of admission and throughout the length of stay.
