I was looking at one of my pt charts (paper charting) the other day and noticed one of the CNAs had charted a pain assessment on the flowsheet where they usually chart the vitals. There is a space for this allowing a numerical value. The CNA had charted 0/10. I thought about it later and started to get a bit worked up about it.
From what I remember in school CNAs can not assess pts. What do you all think? How would you approach this without making the person feel too bad?
