What should a nursing assistant do if they suspect abuse?

Confront the person suspected of abuse
Report it immediately to their supervisor
Start documenting but take no immediate action
Talk to other residents to gather evidence

The correct answer is: Report it immediately to their supervisor

If a nursing assistant suspects abuse, it is crucial for them to report it immediately to their supervisor. Reporting abuse promptly is vital to ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents. Confronting the person suspected of abuse may escalate the situation and put the residents at further risk. Starting to document without taking immediate action can lead to delays in addressing the issue and jeopardize the safety of the residents. Talking to other residents to gather evidence is not appropriate; the nursing assistant should instead report their suspicions to their supervisor so that a thorough investigation can be conducted by the appropriate authorities. Therefore, the correct course of action when abuse is suspected is to report it immediately to the supervisor.
