The correct answer is: Giving detailed information.

The primary objective of reporting in a long-term care facility context is to provide detailed information. Reporting is essential for ensuring that all staff members are informed about the residents’ conditions, changes in health status, and any incidents that may have occurred. This detailed information ensures that care is coordinated effectively, promotes patient safety, and aids in decision-making regarding the residents’ care plans. Accurate and thorough reporting allows healthcare providers to assess situations critically and respond appropriately, which is vital in maintaining the quality of care in long-term settings. This accurate documentation also supports compliance with regulations and helps protect the rights and safety of residents.
