What action should a CNA take in relation to a resident's urinary needs during activities?

Assisting with reminders and support as needed is essential for maintaining the dignity and comfort of the resident. Residents may not always be in tune with their bodily signals, and some might be hesitant to interrupt group activities or feel embarrassed to ask for assistance. By providing reminders and support, the CNA ensures that the resident has the opportunity to manage their urinary needs without feeling anxious or neglected. This approach fosters a respectful and caring environment, promoting the resident's overall well-being and participation in activities.

In addition to providing practical support, this action aligns with person-centered care, emphasizing the importance of respecting each resident’s individual needs and preferences. Prioritizing the resident’s comfort and needs during activities contributes to a positive experience and encourages their continued engagement.
