CNA's in Med-Surg

What are some normal tasks that CNA's perform in a Med Surg unit?

Our CNAs do vital signs, ADLs, enemas, urine specimins from foleys, collect stool, sputum specimins, some put on ointments and cremes (although I don't believe that is within their scope of practice). Not much else.

They do not do fingersticks or anyother invasive procedures. Theyu do not d/c ivs or catheters.
