- C.Ask the resident to ignore the symptoms until after the transfer
- D.Chart that the transfer was refused without telling the nurse
Correct answer
B. Stop, keep the resident safe, and report the new symptoms to the nurse
Why
A change in condition makes a previously routine task potentially unsafe, so the aide should stop, protect the resident, and report to the nurse for reassessment. Proceeding or hiding the change could cause harm.
