A resident wants to use the commode but she needs help. What should you do?

Call for the nurse
Encourage her to manage on her own
Leave the room and return later
Use a gait belt

The correct answer is: Call for the nurse

If you chose B It is important to respect the resident's independence, but in this situation it is more important to ensure their safety. If you chose C: Leaving the resident alone when they need help can put them at risk of injury or accidents. If you chose D: A gait belt is used for transferring a resident, not for assisting with using the commode. It is always best to call for the nurse and follow their instructions to ensure the resident's safety and proper care. This allows them to receive the assistance they need and maintains their dignity.
