  • D.Speak privately and respectfully, and involve the supervisor if it is not resolved
Correct answer

D. Speak privately and respectfully, and involve the supervisor if it is not resolved

Private, respectful discussion protects residents from conflict, and the supervisor is the next step in the chain if the issue remains. Arguing in front of residents, refusing teamwork, or gossiping is unprofessional.
