A good way for a nursing assistant to help a new resident adjust to life in the facility is to:

  1. Spend all visiting hours with them

  2. Think about how it would feel to move into a facility

  3. Allow them to be by themselves

  4. Leave them alone to figure things out

The correct answer is: Spend all visiting hours with them

It is important for a nursing assistant to offer support and companionship to a new resident in order to help them adjust to their new living situation. This involves spending time with the resident, listening to their concerns, and offering reassurance. Option B may offer a helpful perspective, but alone it may not actually help the resident adjust. Options C and D involve leaving the resident alone, which may lead to feelings of isolation and uncertainty. It is important for the nursing assistant to actively engage with and offer support to the new resident.
