I was thinking more in terms of a CNA determining the status of the ulcer, does that make sense? Reporting an ulcer would be part of the duties of a CNA but assigning a CNA to determine it is healing and report that to the RN requires the CNA assessing the wound. Then again, I could be reading too much into the question as I've not done the LaCharity book yet
In the real world I can see where a CNA would report that to the nurse but for the NCLEX I just would have expected it to be designated to the LPN. Did you pull this question from a book? Just wondering if it offers a rationale in addition to the answer.
