Which of the following best reflects a resident's right to participate in care planning?
Explanation
42 CFR §483.10(f)(8) and HSC §1599.1 establish the resident's right to participate in the development, review, and revision of the comprehensive care plan, including the right to choose a representative. The plan reflects resident goals and preferences, not staff convenience. Option a denies participation; b inappropriately gives family veto power; c conditions a right on physician approval. The team must accommodate scheduling and provide notice so the resident can meaningfully participate.
