Which role is also known as nurse aide, nurse technician, or patient care technician and works under the supervision of RNs or LPNs/LVNs?

• A. Nurse Assistant
• B. CNA
• C. PCT
• D. Funeral Director

Answer: (A)

Nurse Assistant is the role that fits here. This job focuses on providing basic, day-to-day patient care and supporting the healthcare team under the supervision of registered nurses or licensed practical/vocational nurses. Tasks commonly include help with daily living activities (bathing, dressing, feeding), assisting with mobility and positioning, and taking or reporting simple observations like vitals or changes in a patient’s condition. Different facilities may use variations of the title—nurse aide, nurse technician, or patient care technician—but the essential role remains the same: frontline patient care under supervision. The other option listed, Funeral Director, is unrelated to patient care in a hospital or clinic setting.
