Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Diploma)

  • End-of-life and dementia-care techniques — apply with patience and dignity on assigned residents.
  • New CNAs on shift — orient on hall routines and resident-specific care during their first week.
  • Family-member interactions — communicate respectfully and route clinical questions to the nurse.
  • Hospice-eligible residents — support per the care plan with sensitivity to comfort-care goals.
  • Charting in the electronic medical record — complete required fields without nurse follow-up.
  • Care-plan changes — implement on a familiar resident within the same shift.
