A nursing assistant is preparing to turn a patient. When the nursing assistant enters the room, she maintains an open body posture and greets the patient before she approaches the patient and begins to turn her. After turning the patient, the nursing assistant smiles and praises her.

What did the nursing assistant do incorrectly in the scenario?

Final answer:

The nursing assistant's actions in the patient care scenario were correct, displaying good practice in patient interaction. There is no mention of any mistakes made in the execution of turning the patient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nursing assistant did not make any mistakes in terms of interaction with the patient. Greeting the patient with an open body posture, turning them with care, and offering a smile and praise after the procedure are all right actions to ensure patient comfort and emotional well-being. The scenario described does not give a clear indication of any incorrect action. However, when looking at the provided reference information, it seems that the broader issues in the healthcare facility may include poor working conditions, lack of autonomy, and a disconnection between the effort of the workers and appreciation from both the management and residents. Nonetheless, these issues do not directly relate to the specific scenario of turning a patient.
