Final answer:
An NA/R can share resident's status information exclusively with other healthcare staff involved in the resident's care, such as the staff on the next shift, to ensure continuity of care while complying with privacy laws like HIPAA.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is about the proper disclosure of resident's status information by a Nursing Assistant/Registered (NA/R). The correct answer is c) the staff on the next shift. According to privacy regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), health information should only be shared with individuals who have a need to know for the purpose of providing care and treatment. Therefore, an NA/R can only share information about a resident's status with other staff members who are responsible for the resident's care, such as those on the next shift. Sharing such information with a resident's roommate, family members, or any other individual who does not have a direct need to know in the provision of care would be a violation of privacy laws.
