1. what is it best to focus on when encouraging or empowering a resident?

what the person can accomplish
what the person cannot accomplish
where the person needs the most help
where the person is most limited

Explanation:

1. Documenting refusal without proper assessment is wrong. Criticizing is unethical. A built - up spoon can aid grasping. Saying the resident needs to be a "feeder" without trying aids is premature.
2. Residents have the right to a care schedule centered around them. Conforming to staff or other residents' schedules ignores their rights. Having all ADLs done for them may not respect their autonomy.
3. Focusing on what a person can accomplish is empowering. Focusing on negatives (cannot, most help, most limited) is demotivating.

Answer:

1. Ask the care team about the use of a built - up spoon.
2. The right to create a care schedule that revolves around them.
3. What the person can accomplish.
