Because the nursing assistant (NA) is unsure if the other resident has an item, the best action is to find out whether an item has truly been taken. The NA can do this by observing the resident who left the room to see if that resident pulls out an item and then determining if it could belong to the other resident. It is unwarranted to interrupt the other resident's activity and ask the resident to look if there is anything missing. It is a violation to search any resident's personal storage without their permission. This includes both residents' rooms in the provided scenario.
