Answer to Question 1

You should report the finding of discolored skin as soon as you have completed the task and the resident is safe and comfortable. You should inform the nurse first, then anyone caring for the resident. Use common items, such as a quarter, to describe the size. The location in this case is the medial upper aspect of the inner thigh.

Answer to Question 2

You should answer in an honest approach that is factual and describes your interpretation of your performance, including an ethical description of your care. You could suggest that the nurse speak to the residents to help support the fact that these are false allegations.
