CNA carries artificial leg to bedside. CNA places end of sock on end of stump, resident rolls up sock. Resident lifts up stump, CNA positions limb on stump. Resident hooks and tightens straps and secures stump?? 3,2 or 2,2 CNA did not bear any of the residents weight but did lift the artificial limb?? Is this considered bearing the residents weight??
