The correct answer is: Ensure the medication is stored securely and used properly

The correct answer is A: Ensure the medication is stored securely and used properly. This is the primary responsibility of the facility concerning bedside medications to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents. Proper storage of medications helps prevent misuse or accidents, and using medications as prescribed is crucial for the residents' health. The other options, such as keeping track of resident activities, managing dietary compliance, and updating visitation schedules, are important tasks in a nursing home setting but are not directly related to the handling and administration of bedside medications.
