When communicating with a resident who has a functional barrier, the nursing assistant should:

  1. Finish their sentences for them

  2. Give the resident time to speak

  3. Ignore the barrier

  4. Speak for the resident

The correct answer is: Give the resident time to speak

When communicating with a resident who has a functional barrier, it is important for the nursing assistant to give them time to speak. Finishing their sentences for them or speaking for them can be seen as disrespectful or demeaning. Ignoring the barrier altogether can also be seen as dismissive and neglecting the resident's needs. It is important to show respect and patience when communicating with someone who has a functional barrier in order to create a comfortable and understanding environment for both the resident and the nursing assistant.
