What should a nursing assistant do if he is unsure about moving a resident safely?

  1. Ask the resident to move themselves

  2. Look up the procedure online

  3. Find a coworker to help

  4. Call a family member for assistance

The correct answer is: Find a coworker to help

A Asking the resident to move themselves may not be feasible or safe for the resident, as they may require assistance due to their physical condition. B: Looking up the procedure online may take up valuable time and could potentially be unreliable as not all information found online is accurate or applicable to the specific situation. D: Calling a family member for assistance may not be necessary, as there may be trained staff or protocols in place to safely move the resident without involving family members. Additionally, involving family members in caregiving tasks can blur boundaries and lead to potential legal and ethical issues. Therefore, finding a coworker to help is the most appropriate and responsible course of action for a nursing assistant who is unsure about moving a resident safely.
