B. report the observation promptly to a nurse.
C. wait until the next shift to mention it.
D. discuss the change only with the resident's family.
Show answer and reasoning

B. a person has met Hawaii's requirements, including passing the Competency Exam (or an approved equivalent), to work as a certified nurse aide in the state.

D. the person is automatically a licensed nurse.
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. a person has met Hawaii's requirements, including passing the Competency Exam (or an approved equivalent), to work as a certified nurse aide in the state.
Correct. The Hawaii Nurse Aide Registry lists individuals who have met the state's certification requirements, generally including passing the two-part Competency Exam or qualifying through an approved reciprocity route.
A: Registry listing is based on more than a background check; it reflects that competency requirements have also been met.
C: Nursing facilities generally must use registry-listed nurse aides for resident care; registry status is not merely optional information.

Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. Following the care plan as written and reporting to the nurse if the resident's needs appear to have changed.
