Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best action for the nursing assistant to take is to close the door quietly and provide privacy for the resident. If there is another resident in a semiprivate room, the nursing assistant should make sure to keep the privacy curtains closed and may take a walk with the other resident, so the resident masturbating has full privacy. The best action in this situation is not to gather items for the walk and act as if nothing is happening. The nursing assistant would not inform the resident to call when ready for a walk because that violates the privacy and can be embarrassing.
