The primary risk for unconscious residents is:

  1. Agitation

  2. Aspiration

  3. Walker use

  4. Dry skin

The correct answer is: Aspiration

Aspiration is the inhalation of fluids, foods, or other substances into the lungs, which can be a life-threatening issue for unconscious residents. Agitation may be a concern for unconscious residents as well, but it is not their primary risk. Walker use and dry skin are not typically related to the unconsciousness of a resident, making them incorrect options.
