A resident is having an emotional private conversation with family behind a closed curtain. The nursing assistant should:
- A.Stand behind the curtain and listen in case help is needed
- B.Pull the curtain open to show care is still available
- C.Interrupt to discuss the lunch menu for tomorrow
- D.Respect the privacy, avoid listening in, and return later for non-urgent tasks
Correct answer
D. Respect the privacy, avoid listening in, and return later for non-urgent tasks
Why
Curtains and closed doors signal a need for privacy during family conversations, and non-urgent tasks can wait. Listening in or interrupting violates confidentiality and trust.
