Explanation:

First Question (Support Worker and Resident's Dignity)

• For respecting dignity, getting consent (verbal, as the situation is routine care) by explaining and asking is key. Written consent is unnecessary here, refusing touch or checking delegation don't relate to dignity directly.

• Laughing at the resident is disrespectful, so never laughing at them respects dignity. Telling to go back, scolding, or just eye contact (not enough) don't show respect.

Answer:

A. Explaining to the resident what the worker is going to do and getting consent.
