Illinois CNA State Practice Exam

When a resident checks out of a room, the correct procedure is to leave the room as it is. This allows the housekeeping staff to effectively clean and sanitize the entire room, not just certain areas like the bathroom. Disinfecting the room or only cleaning the bathroom would not be enough to properly prepare the room for the next resident. It is also important to notify housekeeping after the resident checks out so they can add the room to their cleaning schedule. Therefore, options B, C, and D are not the correct procedures for handling a room when a resident checks out.
