- C.The resident's family explains the order to the aide later
- D.The aide finds the order later by reading another chart

B. The nurse reviews the order and directs the aide's related tasks
Why
Providers give orders to licensed nurses, who then direct the aide's tasks within the care plan. Aides do not take provider orders directly or learn them secondhand from families or other charts.
