A resident repeatedly makes flirtatious comments to the nursing assistant that feel uncomfortable. What is an appropriate response?
- A.Flirt back so the resident stays cooperative during care
- B.Ignore all future care needs of that resident as punishment
- C.Threaten the resident with loss of family visits
- D.Calmly and professionally set a boundary, redirect to the care task, and report persistent behavior to the nurse
Correct answer
D. Calmly and professionally set a boundary, redirect to the care task, and report persistent behavior to the nurse
Why
A clear, respectful boundary keeps the relationship professional while care continues, and persistent behavior should be reported for care planning. Flirting back, withholding care, or threats are unprofessional.
