As a healthcare professional, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of all patients. In this situation, the sexual comment could be considered harassment and may make the female resident feel unsafe or uncomfortable. It is important to report this type of behavior to a nurse or supervisor who can take appropriate action and address the situation. Ignoring the situation or involving the male resident's family may not provide adequate support for the female resident and could potentially make the situation worse. Telling the resident to behave may not give a lasting solution.
