Question: 1 / 400

When a resident is suspected of having a heart attack, a nursing assistant should:

Administer CPR immediately

A. Administer CPR immediately is the correct answer because CPR is the first line of treatment for a suspected heart attack. It helps to keep blood circulating and provide oxygen to the body until medical professionals arrive. Giving the resident food or fluids (B) may worsen the condition and increase the risk of choking. Not giving the resident food or fluids (C) is also correct, as they should not be given anything to eat or drink until a doctor has evaluated them. Having the resident lie down and rest (D) may be appropriate for other medical emergencies, but in the case of a suspected heart attack, it is important to begin CPR immediately.
