HHA housekeeping duties include performing tasks as listed in the work plan while the client is sick or disabled. Which statement is true?

• A. Not true
• B. Only when the client requests
• C. Only if the client is fully healthy
• D. True

Answer: (D)

Housekeeping tasks are part of the plan of care and continue to apply even when the client is sick or disabled. The work plan lists the housekeeping duties the HHA is expected to perform to keep the home safe and orderly, which supports comfort and recovery. Illness or disability doesn’t remove these responsibilities; you carry them out as allowed by the plan, adjusting for safety and infection control as needed. The other statements imply you only perform tasks on request or only when healthy, which isn’t how the plan of care works. Therefore, the statement is true.
