Closing the privacy curtain will ensure the resident's dignity and privacy while receiving the bed bath. The other options are irrelevant to the task at hand and may not be appropriate for the resident's needs (e.g. opening the window for fresh air may not be safe if the resident is at risk for hypothermia, opening the shades may not be desired if the resident prefers a darker environment).
