The nurse has violated the resident's right to voice a grievance and to have the problem fixed.If the residents were moving into the new building in a few days,then the nurse's response might be suitable; however,without specifying a time limit,the nurse has violated the resident's right to voice a grievance and have it remedied.A clogged sink is not abuse.The resident is not going to be transferred; all of the residents are moving to a new facility.A resident's condition or treatments are not mentioned by the resident.
