Why is it important to leave a resident's call light within reach?

To ensure they can adjust the lighting
To allow them to call for help when needed
So they can change the TV channel
To help them track time

The correct answer is: To allow them to call for help when needed

The importance of leaving a resident's call light within reach primarily lies in ensuring their safety and well-being. Residents may need assistance for various reasons, such as help with mobility, personal care, or responding to emergencies. By having the call light easily accessible, they can quickly alert staff when they require assistance, promoting a more responsive and supportive environment. The other options, while they may provide some benefits, do not capture the primary purpose of the call light. Adjusting lighting, changing the TV channel, or tracking time are not critical needs that would warrant immediate assistance in the same way that health or safety concerns do. The call light serves as a vital communication tool, facilitating timely help when it is most necessary.
