Of course. But why would you ask the CNA about it? What would you say?
I would be genuinely curious and probably a little annoyed. I'd just say, "Hey, the patient in 206 refused to let me listen to her lungs because she said you already did it ....what's up?". Then, I'd see what they had to say and go from there.

She didn't say that she refused to let the RN listen, just that the patient said that the STNA/nursing assistant (some states use "state tested nursing assistant" instead of CNA) listened.

My first reaction would be to wonder if it was an RT, instead.
