Answer: (B)

In indirect care, honoring the resident’s privacy and establishing clear communication before any care steps is essential. Start by knocking and waiting to announce your entry and gain consent. Then introduce yourself by name and explain your role so the resident knows who you are and why you’re there. Next, pull the privacy curtain to protect the resident’s dignity before discussing any details. Once privacy is secured, explain the procedure you will perform so the resident understands what will happen and can ask questions or give consent. This sequence supports trust, autonomy, and privacy, which are fundamental during any care interaction.
