A resident recently lost their spouse. How can the CNA best support their emotional well-being?

Question

Accepted Answer

Listen without judgment if the resident wants to talk, and allow expression of grief. The correct answer is B. Allowing residents to express grief and listening compassionately supports emotional health during loss. Answer A denies the resident's experience. Answer C minimizes the validity of grief. Answer D, while well-intentioned, attempts to provide comfort outside the CNA's scope and may not align with the resident's beliefs.
