✓ :~~ B. Explain the risks of dehydration, respect his decision, and inform the
nurse about his condition.
A patient has the right to refuse treatment even if this is not in his best interest. In
this
situation, the CNA should explain that being hydrated is very important for a
person's
health, and then let the nurse know that the patient is refusing treatment. Forcing
a
patient to drink water is abuse. A CNA should NEVER hook up an IV and the CNA has
no authority to discharge a patient.
If a patient refuses treatment and the CNA performs this care on the patient

A. Nothing. CNAs should always perform care on patients regardless of patient
wishes.
