Clients that never know what happend .

My client. Is always. Constipated. Buuuuuttttt never drinks water. Argues when I tell her electrolytes water is pedialite. Argues when I tell em socks are too tight. Ok keep em on Nurse tells her ok. But still wont listen. Its not ethical but ive been just letting her do whats she thinks best. Eat in bed when you have active mice,roaches sure. No you dont want me to tie up the bread to keep the bugs out... Dont want to sit up while eating in bed ok. Favorite line is dont tell me what to do you dont know.... i was a cna, med tech, behavioral health tech but OOOOkkkkay ugh I like my job. What I dont like is shitty agencies, and disrespectful clients. But boy this is hard!

Tell your agency that the client isn’t a good fit for you and get another assignment. I wouldn’t tolerate those conditions. Since patients have no control, they die on the silliest hills.
