Accepted Answer

Asking a co-worker to be present during the inspection provides an additional witness and protection in case of any accusations or misunderstandings. It also ensures that the task is completed without compromising patient privacy and confidentiality. Refusing to do it or asking the family to inspect their own closets and drawers may not be feasible or appropriate in certain situations. Asking the nurse to do it instead may not provide sufficient protection for the person conducting the inspection.

Accepted Answer

Knocking on the door and waiting to be asked in is the most polite way to enter someone's room. This respects their privacy and gives them the opportunity to let you know if they are unavailable or have visitors. Getting the person's attention may be considered rude as it implies that you are going to enter even without their permission. Checking if the person has visitors or is in the bathroom may be irrelevant in some circumstances.

Maintaining good work ethics is important in providing quality care. This includes being reliable, responsible, respectful, and accountable for your actions. Following agency policy and refusing to do tasks that could be unsafe or outside of your job role are also important, but they are specific actions that fall under the larger category of having good work ethics. Reprimanding someone who is disrespectful to you is not appropriate and could lead to further conflict or negative outcomes.
