Explanation
A professional caregiver should only perform the tasks for which he/she has been trained and can safely carry out. This is important because providing care without proper training can lead to mistakes or accidents that can harm the person receiving care. It is crucial for caregivers to have the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure the safety and well-being of their patients.

Explanation
Wearing large ornate jewelry could harm a resident by causing injury during personal care, as it may accidentally scratch or poke them. It could also harm the wearer if it catches on something, potentially causing injury or discomfort. Additionally, it could be offensive to a resident if they have cultural or personal beliefs that discourage or disapprove of such displays of wealth or extravagance.

- D.
  
  Tell him that is "none of his business"
Correct Answer
B. Respectfully explain that you cannot discuss the medical conditions of a resident

Explanation
Respectfully explaining that you cannot discuss the medical conditions of a resident is the correct answer because it is important to maintain privacy and confidentiality when it comes to someone's medical information. Sharing such information without proper authorization would be a violation of privacy laws and ethical standards. It is important to respect the resident's right to privacy and only share medical information with authorized individuals, such as healthcare professionals or family members.

A resident is allowed to refuse medication from community staff because every individual has the right to make decisions about their own healthcare. It is important to respect the autonomy and personal choices of residents, even if it goes against the recommendations or advice of the staff. However, it is crucial for the staff to provide proper education and information to the resident about the potential risks and benefits of medication, and to ensure that the resident is making an informed decision.
