How should a nursing assistant respond if a younger resident requests to stay up late to watch a TV show?

Deny the request as it disrupts the routine
Ignore the request and follow the standard schedule
Accommodate and allow the resident to watch the show
Report the resident for staying up past bedtime

The correct answer is: Accommodate and allow the resident to watch the show

A and D are both incorrect because they do not take into account the resident's wants and needs. As a nursing assistant, it is important to prioritize the resident's comfort and happiness. Ignoring or denying their request can lead to feelings of neglect and dissatisfaction. B is also incorrect because it suggests disregarding the resident's request and following a strict schedule. While routine is important in a healthcare setting, it is also important to be flexible and accommodate reasonable requests from residents. Overall, C is the best answer because it balances the resident's desire to watch the TV show with the importance of maintaining a routine. By accommodating the resident's request, the nursing assistant is showing compassion and understanding for the resident's individual preferences.
