Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best action the NA should take to help the resident diagnosed with a progressive disease to have their best quality of life is to ask the resident what a typical day should look like for the resident and adhere to their schedule, but make changes to the schedule as the resident wants. Following the set schedule of the facility limits the resident's personal decision-making of when to eat and where. Comfort measures should be provided as requested by the resident. The best way to promote a better quality of life for the resident is to ask the resident what makes them comfortable and how the NA can help to provide that comfort.
