Which practice allows meals to be eaten in a resident's room according to the care plan?

• A. Liquid Offering
• B. Room Meals
• C. Dementia Meal Focus
• D. Guest Meal Tray

Answer: (B)

The practice being tested is delivering meals to the resident’s room because it directly supports eating where the resident is most comfortable and safe as outlined in the care plan. Room meals mean staff bring the tray to the room, following the care plan’s guidance on textures, portions, and any needed assistance, which is especially important for residents with limited mobility, safety concerns, or a preference to stay in bed or in a private space. This approach respects the resident’s dignity and daily routine while ensuring the prescribed nutrition and support are provided. Other options focus on different aspects—hydration between meals, dementia-specific meal design, or meal trays for guests—not the location of where the resident eats.
