Accepted Answer

Opening the window shades would not protect the person's privacy as it may allow others to see inside the room. Closing the door and privacy curtain and draping the person would all help to protect their privacy.

Question 3

An example of a resident's right is the right to&#10;A)A job&#10;B)Information&#10;C)Select their roommate&#10;D)Elope

The right to information means that residents have the right to know about their care plan, medications, and any changes to their health status. This is important for residents to be able to make informed decisions about their own health and care. A, C, and D are not necessarily rights that residents have, depending on the facility's policies and the resident's individual circumstances.

Question 4

Henry Parks is a nursing center resident.Which is the proper way to address him?&#10;A)Mr.Parks&#10;B)Henry&#10;C)Grandpa&#10;D)Sweetie

Accepted Answer

As a nursing center resident, Mr. Parks deserves to be addressed with respect, so using "Mr." followed by his last name is the most appropriate form of address. Using his first name (B) might be okay if he has given permission or if there is an established relationship, while using informal terms like "Grandpa" (C) or "Sweetie" (D) is inappropriate and disrespectful.

Inspecting the person's drawers and closets is not necessary for courteous and dignified resident care. It could be viewed as an invasion of privacy and is not directly related to the person's physical and emotional well-being. The other options listed are all important for maintaining the person's comfort and dignity.

All other options listed protect the person's right to privacy by maintaining confidentiality, limiting exposure of body parts to only those necessary for treatment, and screening to ensure only appropriate individuals have access to personal information. Allowing visitors in the room during care may violate the person's right to privacy by exposing them to unwanted observation or intrusion.
