If a nursing assistant feels it is not safe to move a resident by himself, what should he do?

Attempt the move anyway
Perform a safety assessment
Find a coworker to help
Request the family to move the resident

The correct answer is: Find a coworker to help

If a nursing assistant feels it is not safe to move a resident by himself, the best course of action is to find a coworker to help. Moving residents can pose a risk of injury, both to the resident and the nursing assistant, if not done safely and with the appropriate assistance. Asking a coworker for help ensures that the resident can be moved safely and minimizes the risk of harm. It is essential for nursing assistants to prioritize resident safety and well-being in such situations. Performing a safety assessment may not be immediate enough if the nursing assistant is already feeling the move is unsafe. Attempting the move anyway is not recommended as it could lead to injury. Requesting the family to move the resident is not within the scope of the nursing assistant's duties and may not ensure the safety of the resident or the caregiver.
