Being alert to mental changes
Being alert to mental changes and reporting them is an important part of a frontline caregivers responsibilities. Mental changes may signal an immediate threat to a residents health or well-being. Changes or a decline in mental condition can make a resident more difficult to care for as well as place the resident at a higher risk for falls or other types of accidents. Because CNAs spend the most time with residents, they are most likely to notice changes in a residents mental condition. The changes that a caregiver reports are an important first step in getting the help that a resident needs. Taking this first step may even turn out to be a lifesaving action.

After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
- Describe signs of depression
