Which one of the following is a nursing assistant's responsibility that is related to the rehabilitation and restorative care effort?

1. Encouraging the resident to use a trapeze to reposition herself in bed, if this is part of the resident's care plan.

2. A person who is having difficulty with balance when walking can benefit from which of the following?

3. Occupational therapy could help Mrs. Jenkins regain her ability to play cards.

4. Someone who is frail is:

The correct answer is: Encouraging the resident to use a trapeze to reposition herself in bed, if this is part of the resident's care plan.

The correct response is indeed focused on the nursing assistant's responsibility regarding rehabilitation and restorative care. Encouraging the resident to utilize a trapeze to reposition herself in bed is directly aligned with the goals of rehabilitation and restorative care. This intervention not only promotes the resident’s independence but also enhances their physical abilities as outlined in their individual care plan. Rehabilitation and restorative care aim to help individuals regain their independence in daily activities after an illness or injury. By encouraging the use of devices like a trapeze, the nursing assistant supports mobility and the improvement of physical function, which is a critical component of rehabilitation. While the other responses may touch on themes relevant to rehabilitation or support, they do not specifically illustrate a direct responsibility of a nursing assistant in the same way that encouraging the use of adaptive equipment does.
