Final answer:

A CNA should respect a residents husband's request for privacy if facility policies allow it and the resident consents, ensuring the resident's dignity and safety are maintained.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a female resident's husband requests some private time with his wife in her room, the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) should first consider the policies and procedures of the healthcare facility. If the facility policy allows for private visits and there are no immediate healthcare tasks that need to be performed, the CNA should accommodate the request respectfully, ensuring that both the resident's dignity and safety are maintained. It might also be important for the CNA to ensure that the resident consents to having private time with her husband. The CNA should also take into account any specific instructions or care plans outlined by supervising health professionals.
