When supervising a personal support worker (PSW) who is assisting a patient to ambulate, the nurse notices that the patient is still wearing her soft-soled bedroom slippers. Which of the following is the most effective feedback to provide to the PSW? Question 31 options: “Next time you take Mrs. W. for a walk please be sure to remember to put on her rubber-soled shoes. Those slippers she is wearing now are much too soft and she might slip and fall.” “I know that Mrs. W. really appreciates these walks you’re doing with her. I’m concerned about her slippers as she may slip and fall. Is there a way we could encourage her to wear her shoes with the rubber soles?” “I heard from the nurse in charge yesterday that when you took Mrs. W. for a walk yesterday you let her wear her soft-soled bedroom slippers. Do you realize she could slip and fall if she wears those?” “It’s great that you are taking Mrs. W. for a walk, I know she really appreciates that. But you forgot to change her shoes. Those bedroom slippers are much too soft and she might slip and fall.”
