Question

which of the following is true of the residents bill of rights?

promotes independence and self - determination

permits a patient to not pay their out - of - pocket health care expenses

requires a patient to see a facilitys on - staff physician

overrides a patients civil rights

Explanation:

The Residents’ Bill of Rights (often related to long - term care or healthcare settings) is centered around protecting the rights of residents/patients. One of its key aspects is to promote the independence and self - determination of residents, allowing them to make choices about their lives, care, etc. The option “Permits a patient to not pay their out - of - pocket health care expenses” is incorrect as the Residents’ Bill of Rights does not address payment exemption. “Requires a patient to see a facility’s on - staff physician” is wrong because residents have the right to choose their healthcare providers. “Overrides a patient’s civil rights” is also incorrect as the bill is meant to protect and uphold civil rights, not override them.

Answer:

A. Promotes independence and self - determination
