CNA Training and Patient Treatment
CNA training encompasses many different aspects of patient treatment. In fact, one of the most important roles a certified nursing assistant will play will be in working with patients to educate them in things such as proper diet. What a person puts in their bodies play a major role in life’s illnesses. I understand that much illness is due to genetic factors, but proper diet can work with the body to keep your risk low. As a certified nursing assistant, I have often had the privilege of counseling patients on the food pyramid scale and the importance of high fiber foods in their diet. Although it is not meant to scare them, even the incidence of colon cancer is drastically lowered when fiber is added to the diet regularly. Although that would be the worst case scenario, there are many other maladies such as irritable bowel syndrome that can be remedied with a higher fiber intake.
