Which of the following behaviors promotes Residents' Rights?

1. Informing residents about new policies after implementation

2. Providing privacy during all care procedures

3. Restricting visiting hours for family members

4. Sharing resident concerns only with direct supervisors

The correct answer is: Informing residents about new policies after implementation

The behavior that promotes Residents' Rights is providing privacy during all care procedures. Privacy is a fundamental right of residents in any care facility, ensuring that they feel safe and respected during their interactions with caregivers. This includes allowing residents to maintain their dignity and confidentiality when receiving care, which is crucial for building trust between residents and staff. Informing residents about new policies after their implementation does not uphold their rights, as it limits their ability to participate in decisions that affect their care and living conditions. Similarly, restricting visiting hours for family members can isolate residents from their support systems, undermining their emotional well-being and connection to loved ones. Sharing resident concerns only with direct supervisors may inhibit open communication and limit the ability of residents to advocate for themselves, which is essential for their autonomy and rights within the facility.
