A resident wants to keep a family photo on their nightstand instead of medical supplies. What should the CNA do?

Question

Accepted Answer

Support the resident's choice to personalize their space if it doesn't create a safety hazard. Residents have the right to personalize their living space and maintain connections to family and loved ones. Personal items like photos should be supported unless they create a genuine safety hazard. Removing items without consent or prohibiting personal items violates autonomy and dignity rights.
