The best way for an NA to provide foot care a diabetic resident is to?

Inspect the feet daily for any breaks in the skin, redness, swelling, or drainage.

- Gently wash the feet with mild soap and warm water, and dry them thoroughly.

- Apply a thin layer of moisturizer to the feet to prevent dryness and cracking. Trim the toenails straight across and file any rough edges.

- If the resident has any open wounds, clean them and apply a bandage.

- Wear shoes that fit well and provide good support.

- Avoid going barefoot.

- See a doctor or podiatrist if you have any concerns about the resident's feet.
