Show answer and rationale
Correct: A. Section 483.152(b)(4)(i) puts it first, and the ordering captures the area: the aide adapts their approach rather than expecting the resident to change.
- B — The curriculum places the obligation to adapt on the aide, not on the resident.
- C — Medication administration is outside the nurse aide scope of practice.
- D — Federal rule directs aides to avoid the need for restraints, not to apply them.
