Before entering any resident's room, especially when a partner is visiting, the nursing assistant should always:
- A.Knock, announce yourself, and wait for a response before entering
- B.Walk in quietly to avoid disturbing the visit at all
- C.Open the door wide and begin care tasks immediately
- D.Ask other residents if the couple wants privacy today
Correct answer
A. Knock, announce yourself, and wait for a response before entering
Why
Knocking and waiting protect privacy and dignity, including during intimate or family visits. Entering without warning can embarrass residents and violate their right to private time.
