How are residents of a long-term care facility defined?

  1. An instance of resuming an activity or state after an interruption.

  2. Giving detailed information.

  3. Persons living in a long-term care facility.

  4. Something that belongs to the resident.

The correct answer is: Persons living in a long-term care facility.

Residents of a long-term care facility are defined as persons living in such a facility. This definition encompasses individuals who require assistance with daily activities due to various reasons, including aging, disability, or chronic illnesses. In a long-term care setting, these residents receive personalized care and support tailored to their specific needs, which typically includes assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and medication management. Understanding this definition is crucial for CNAs, as it emphasizes the importance of acknowledging residents' rights, dignity, and individuality. The other options, while they may hold meaning in different contexts, do not accurately represent who the residents are or their relationship to the care facility.
