Which process involves moving residents within a facility?

• A. Initial Observations
• B. In-House Transfers
• C. Infection Control
• D. Intake

Answer: (B)

Moving residents within a facility is called an in-house transfer. This covers changing a resident’s location inside the same facility—such as moving from one room or unit to another, or to a different department for a service or therapy. The CNA supports this by communicating with the nurse, preparing the resident and equipment, and ensuring safety and proper handoff and documentation. It’s not about admitting someone to the facility (intake), nor about initial health assessments on arrival (initial observations), and it isn’t about preventing infections (infection control). In-house transfers are all about the internal relocation of a resident as part of ongoing care.
