Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Introducing the person to the new roommate and other residents will help reassure them by providing a sense of familiarity and social support in the new unit. It also helps the person to get to know their new surroundings and adjust more easily. It is important to involve the person in the process and communicate with them in a positive and supportive manner, rather than simply telling them that everything will be okay or avoiding discussing the transfer altogether. Waiting until the following day to meet new residents may prolong the person’s anxiety and anticipation about the transfer.
