1. which of the following is a disadvantage of a restaurant - style menu in a dining room?

having to make choices can be overwhelming for some residents
there is nobody available to assist the resident in choosing from the menu
residents have less say in what menu items are available
residents must clear their table

Explanation:

1. In a person - centered culture change continuum, meals are served in a more individualized and family - style way as it focuses on the needs and preferences of the individuals (residents). In staff - directed or staff - centered, it is more about the staff's control, and industry - directed is more about following industry norms rather than a family - style approach.
2. Delivering meals on a tray in neighborhoods is more of a traditional meal delivery method (like room service) rather than an initiative to enrich the dining experience outside of the dining room. Using a bread machine, steam table (for plating in neighborhoods - creating a more home - like feel), or slow cookers (for aroma) are all ways to enhance the experience outside the main dining room.
3. A restaurant - style menu gives residents choices. However, for some residents (especially those with cognitive impairments or who are easily overwhelmed), having too many choices can be a problem. In a well - run dining room with a restaurant - style menu, there are usually staff to assist (so option B is wrong). Residents often have input in a good - quality dining program (so option C is wrong), and clearing the table is either a shared task or not a major disadvantage compared to the choice issue (so option D is wrong).

Answer:

1. Person - centered
2. Deliver meals on a tray in neighborhoods
3. Having to make choices can be overwhelming for some residents
