If a resident requests to have only one side rail up, what should you do?

Leave both side rails down
Keep either one side rail up
Keep both side rails up
Consult the nurse

The correct answer is: Keep either one side rail up

Leaving both side rails down would not be a safe option as it would not provide any support or protection for the resident. Keeping both side rails up could be seen as a violation of the resident's rights to autonomy and freedom of movement. Consulting the nurse might be a good idea, but it is not always necessary for this situation. The best option would be to keep either one side rail up, as it provides the resident with some protection while still allowing them some freedom of movement.
