Nursing Students CNA/MA

I am looking into possibly doing something called one - ones with patients. I can get OT plus experience being around patients. I know you all have CNA's experience so I was wondering what it entails. What types of patients get this service ? Hopefully not the difficult patients !! :argue:I know it requires a BLS cert to do it also. Any info would be appreciated ! Thanks alot ! :bow:

CPI is crisis prevention intervention. It's used on combative patients and other persons in the hospital to restrain them. One to ones are when a patient is assigned an aide to sit in their room at all times. Most of these people are confused and like to go off wandering, crawling out of bed and falling, or pulling out tubes that they really shouldn't be pulling out. Otherwise they are psych patients that got transfered to a medical floor for whatever reason or someone who is suicidal.

Thanks Casi ! I have seen aides in with older confused people alot. You are right. Haven't noticed any psych patients though. I think they have male orderly's watch them. Thanks again !
