A nursing assistant can make bathing safer for residents by:

  1. Bathing without any assistance

  2. Asking for help if she cannot safely handle the task alone

  3. Leaving the resident unattended

  4. Using cold water

The correct answer is: Asking for help if she cannot safely handle the task alone

Bathing without any assistance is not a safe or realistic option for most residents, as they may require help to clean hard-to-reach areas, in order to prevent falls and accidents. Leaving the resident unattended puts them at risk of falling or getting injured. Using cold water may also increase the risk of falls and discomfort for residents. Asking for help if she cannot safely handle the task alone is the best option, as it ensures the safety and well-being of the resident while also promoting teamwork and appropriate delegation of tasks among healthcare staff.
