A married couple who are both residents ask for private time together in one of their rooms. Staff should:
- A.Refuse because sexual activity is never allowed for residents
- B.Allow it only if staff can stay in the room to observe
- C.Support the request by providing privacy, such as knocking and honoring a do-not-disturb arrangement per policy, and inform the nurse
- D.Tell other residents about the couple's request right away
Correct answer
C. Support the request by providing privacy, such as knocking and honoring a do-not-disturb arrangement per policy, and inform the nurse
Why
Adult residents retain rights to intimacy and private time with a partner, supported through privacy measures and nurse awareness. Refusal, observation, or gossip disrespects those rights.
