    Body language plays a crucial role in communication, including when interacting with residents. Non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, and posture can convey messages and emotions that words alone may not be able to express. These cues can help build rapport, establish trust, and enhance understanding between the resident and the communicator. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of one's body language when communicating with residents.

    • "Mary, fill the pot with potting soil, dig out a small hole in the potting soil, place the fern in the pot and water it lightly."

    • "Mary, fill the pot with potting soil" and let her complete this task. "Mary, dig out a small hole in the potting soil" and let her complete this task. "Mary, place the fern in the potting soil" and let her complete this task. "Now, water the fern lightly" and let her complete this task.

    Correct Answer
    A. "Mary, fill the pot with potting soil" and let her complete this task. "Mary, dig out a small hole in the potting soil" and let her complete this task. "Mary, place the fern in the potting soil" and let her complete this task. "Now, water the fern lightly" and let her complete this task.
    Explanation
    The more appropriate way to communicate how to plant the fern is to give Mary step-by-step instructions on each task, allowing her to complete each one before moving on to the next. This ensures that she understands and follows each step correctly, leading to a successful planting of the fern.

    If you speak to a resident and he/she does not respond or understand:

    • Try repeating your sentence but change your words and structure your sentence differently

    • Try repeating your sentence using the same words and sentence structure

    • Come back later and try to communicate again

    Correct Answer
    A. Try repeating your sentence using the same words and sentence structure
    Explanation
    If you speak to a resident and he/she does not respond or understand, the suggested solution is to try repeating your sentence using the same words and sentence structure. This approach assumes that the resident may have difficulty understanding the content of the sentence, rather than the way it is phrased or structured. By repeating the sentence with the same words and structure, it allows the resident another opportunity to comprehend the message.
