Mrs. green's fingernails are very long. alex is an assistant assigned to her care. the nurse's instructions did not include the trimming of mrs. green's fingernails. what should alex do?

It depends on what kind of care takes place in this situation. If the instructions did not include the trimming of Mrs. Green's nails, then probably it is not required or in demand in the assessment of care. However,if it is indeed required, the nurse should take initiative of taking care of Mrs. Green's trimming of nails.
