what can be done when a patient in a nursing home hits you in a nursing home enviroment?
Question:
Answers:
=if you are an employee it should be reported to your supervisor. I agree that it a job hazard, but I am thinking more of the patients mental health. Any extreme change in behavior needs to be addressed for the patients well being. It should be noted in the patients chart as well.
if you are another patient it should be reported to a social worker. If nothing is done and the patients behavior continues, I would speak with the ombudsman.
nothing, if you don't want to get fired. They are in a nursing home for a reason. Most likely because they can't take care or them self's, nobody wants them or both. Don't further abuse them. He/she probably doesn't even realize or even remember later what they did. Cut them some slack. It is just part of your job to tolerate their kind of behavior. You should know that. And if you don't like it get out of the profession.
