  1. The room needs fresh air after every care task is done
  2. Residents must be in staff view unless they can move alone
  3. Visitors must be able to see the resident from the hall
  4. The nurse needs the door open when she gives medicines

Correct answer: Residents must be in staff view unless they can move alone
