For safety, what should a nurse aide do when leaving a patient alone in a room?

When leaving a patient alone in a room, ensuring that the call bell is within the client's reach is crucial for their safety and well-being. This allows the patient to alert staff in case they need assistance or if an emergency arises. Having access to the call bell can provide the patient with a sense of security, knowing they can call for help whenever necessary.

Closing the door tightly is not always appropriate, as it may prevent the patient from calling for help if needed. Turning off all electrical devices is not relevant in every situation, as some devices may be essential for the patient's care. Additionally, making sure the patient is in bed may not be necessary if they are safe and comfortable in another position or location within the room. Ensuring the call bell’s accessibility stands out as the most effectively supportive action for the patient's safety.
