In person-centered care, when a resident is unable to make decisions for themselves, the correct option for who makes decisions on their behalf is:
B. Resident's representative
1. A resident's representative could be a family member, legal guardian, or someone else appointed by the resident to advocate for their best interests.
2. This representative is typically chosen by the resident when they are capable of making decisions and can communicate their preferences.
3. The resident's representative plays a crucial role in ensuring that the resident's wishes and preferences are respected and followed, especially when the resident is unable to express them due to their condition.
