- C.Explain the procedure in detail herself
- D.Destroy the form

B. Notify the nurse right away so the provider can explain before the procedure
Why
If a resident expresses confusion about consent, the procedure should not proceed on that basis alone. The aide must promptly notify the nurse so a licensed provider can clarify.
