What topic is NOT included in the orientation program for all new employees?

  1. Allowable duties

  2. Fire prevention and response

  3. Prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers

  4. Communicating with residents

The correct answer is: Prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers

The correct answer highlights that the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers is generally not a part of the orientation program for all new employees. Orientation programs typically focus on broad topics that are essential for the initial onboarding process, aimed at familiarizing new staff with the facility's policies, safety procedures, and operational expectations. Allowable duties, fire prevention and response, and communicating with residents are critical components of an orientation program. Employees need to understand the specific responsibilities they are permitted to undertake, how to respond to emergencies such as fires, and best practices for interacting with residents to foster a positive environment. On the other hand, while the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers is undoubtedly important, this may be part of more specialized training or continuing education for staff who will be directly involved in the care of residents, rather than a mandatory aspect of initial orientation for all new hires. This distinction underlines the focus of orientation on foundational knowledge rather than specific clinical practices, which may come later in specialized training sessions.
