Mr. Brown is a home care client. He has been assigned a nurse aide to assist him while he recovers from surgery. He lives with his grown daughter and son-in-law. The nurse aide comes by for four hours in the morning to help Mr. Brown with bathing, grooming and preparing breakfast. Mr. Brown’s daughter asks the nurse aide to wash clothes for the entire family. The nurse aide knows this is not a part of her assignment or plan of care.
