Explanation:

For question 12, when a resident is combative, the nursing assistant's safety is crucial. Staying at a safe distance (Option B) prevents potential harm. Letting the resident know what he did was wrong (Option A) might escalate the situation. Startling the resident (Option C) can be dangerous. Threatening (Option D) is unethical and may worsen the behavior.
For question 13, when a resident shows inappropriate sexual behavior, distracting the resident (Option D) is a non - confrontational and appropriate approach. Letting the resident know he is embarrassing himself (Option A) or being inappropriate (Option C) can be humiliating. Telling other NAs to avoid the resident (Option B) is not a proactive or kind solution.

Answer:

1. B. Stay at a safe distance from the resident
2. D. The NA should try to distract the resident.
