A resident of a long-term care facility has been asking to have the drain in the bathroom sink repaired for 2 months. The nurse responds by saying that when they move to the new building, the sinks will work very well
Which right of a resident of a long-term care facility has the nurse violated? a. Right to be free of all forms of abuse
b. Right to be transferred for appropriate reasons
c. Right to voice grievances and have them remedied
d. Right to information about conditions and treatments
C
The nurse has violated the resident's right to voice a grievance and to have the problem fixed. If the residents were moving into the new building in a few days, then the nurse's response might be suitable; however, without specifying a time limit, the nurse has violated the resident's right to voice a grievance and have it remedied. A clogged sink is not abuse. The resident is not going to be transferred; all of the residents are moving to a new facility. A resident's condition or treatments are not mentioned by the resident.
