What should not be done when a resident falls and is injured?

Keep the resident calm
Assess for injuries before moving
Complete an incident report
Provide food or drink immediately

The correct answer is: Provide food or drink immediately

When a resident falls and is injured, providing food or drink immediately should not be done because the resident may require medical assessment and treatment. Until a healthcare professional has evaluated the resident, it's essential to avoid giving them anything to eat or drink. This precaution is vital as it could interfere with any needed medical procedures such as surgery or anesthesia if the resident requires further intervention. Keeping the resident calm, assessing for injuries without moving them unnecessarily, and completing an incident report are all appropriate actions that help ensure the resident's safety and the proper documentation of the incident.
