Beginning process of a patient; admission of a resident into a long-term care facility.

• A. Admission
• B. Admitting Resident
• C. Agitation
• D. Aging Process

Answer: (B)

The beginning process for bringing a new person into a long-term care facility is described by the action of admitting the resident. This term captures the active steps staff take at intake—collecting information, obtaining consent, orienting the resident, and starting the initial assessment and care planning. “Admitting resident” emphasizes that it’s the process of bringing someone into care, not just a one-time event.

In contrast, “admission” is a noun for the event itself rather than the ongoing process, and the other options aren’t related to starting care. So the best fit is admitting resident.
