A resident wants to wear their own clothes instead of a hospital gown. What should the CNA do?

Question

Accepted Answer

Support the resident's choice and help them wear their own clothes if possible. Residents have the right to make choices about their appearance and personal preferences. Supporting a resident's choice to wear their own clothes respects their autonomy and dignity. Unless there is a specific medical reason a hospital gown is necessary, the resident's preference should be accommodated. The CNA should not impose arbitrary restrictions.
