Nursing assistants help to minimize noise by: answering phones promptly; keeping their voices down when talking to coworkers; reporting noisy equipment that needs to be oiled or adjusted; closing the person's door when the person is trying to rest; and encouraging clients or residents to use headphones when listening to TV or music in their rooms.
