Before entering a resident's room, what should the nurse aide always do first?
- Knock and wait for permission before entering — Correct answer
- Walk in quickly without announcing themselves
- Open the door only if the resident is asleep

- Close the door and the privacy curtain — Correct answer

While bathing or dressing a resident, the nurse aide should keep the resident's body:
- Covered or draped except for the part being washed — Correct answer
