Answer 1

The nurse aide knows:

b. The resident cannot talk

Aphasia is a communication disorder that can affect a person's ability to speak, understand speech, read, or write, but it does not necessarily affect a person's ability to walk or swallow. In this case, the patient's aphasia means they have difficulty with verbal communication.
