Personal careQuestion 290 of 1700

Why do you explain the care before you begin?

  1. So the resident will not need to be covered up
  2. So the resident can ask questions or say no
  3. So you do not have to wash your hands first
  4. So you can skip the steps the resident already knows
Show answer

Correct answer: So the resident can ask questions or say no

The resident has the right to ask questions or refuse care that is not wanted at that time.
