What is the first thing you should check before shaving a resident?

If they have taken their medication
If they are on blood thinners
If they have a fever
If they ate a meal

The correct answer is: If they have taken their medication

Before shaving a resident, it is important to check that they have taken their medication because some medications can affect blood clotting, which can increase the risk of bleeding during shaving. Option B is incorrect because not all residents will be on blood thinners and this is not the most critical factor to check before shaving. Option C is incorrect because a fever may not necessarily affect the shaving process. Option D is incorrect because it is not a critical factor to consider before shaving.
