Which act, if committed by a CNA against a resident and substantiated by CDPH, would result in placement on the CA Nurse Aide Registry as a finding of abuse/neglect/misappropriation, barring future SNF employment?

Explanation

Under HSC §1337.9 and 42 CFR §488.301/§483.156, CDPH maintains the Nurse Aide Registry. Substantiated findings of resident abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of resident property (theft) are entered on the registry permanently; the CNA cannot work in any Medicare/Medicaid certified nursing facility nationwide thereafter. Findings include physical/sexual/verbal abuse, financial exploitation, and willful neglect. The CNA receives notice and a right to a due-process hearing. Reporting abuse (d), complaining about staffing (c), and requesting ADA accommodations (b) are protected acts, not registry violations.
