Resident dignity is preserved when you:

Leaving the door open while bathing compromises the resident's privacy and can lead to feelings of vulnerability. This practice can be seen as disrespectful, as it exposes the resident to unwanted attention and diminishes their sense of security during a potentially intimate and private activity.

Entering a resident's space without knocking disregards their personal boundaries and can be perceived as an invasion of privacy. This action can make residents feel uncomfortable and disrespected, undermining their dignity and sense of control over their environment.

Using a nickname may not always respect a resident's preference for how they wish to be addressed. While some individuals may appreciate a nickname, others may find it too informal or disrespectful, potentially affecting their dignity. It's essential to address residents in a manner that aligns with their personal preferences and cultural norms.
