Whom should you ask to leave the room and inform where they may wait?

• A. Visitors
• B. Family
• C. Nurses
• D. Attendants

Answer: (A)

Maintaining the patient’s privacy and a quiet, safe environment during care is the focus here. When care is being performed or privacy is needed, nonessential people should step out of the room and wait in a designated area. Visitors fit best for this role because they are not part of the care team, and their presence isn’t required for the procedure or routine care. Tell them to wait outside the room or in the waiting area until the care is finished or privacy is no longer required. Nurses and attendants are part of the care team and should remain in the room to assist, while family may be allowed to stay according to policy, but the goal of privacy and minimal interruptions is best achieved by having visitors step out.
