Title: Discuss guidelines the nurse aide should follow when helping a resident to dress.
Course: Nurse Aide (14051) > Section: Unit VIII: Personal Care Skills

Discussion should include

- encouraging the resident’s autonomy (e.g., providing privacy, dressing independently, choosing their own clothes according to the weather)
- handling clothes and shoes with care (e.g., labelling, reporting needed repairs or ill-fitting items)
- beginning dressing on the weak side and undressing on the strong side.
