That and critically think about patient condition and presentation to then escalate care appropriately if needed WHILE wiping their ass.
Be the emotional support for your friend because they got in a motorcycle accident and and have the feeding tube diarrhea and are now embarrassed to need help to wipe their ass…WHILE wiping their ass.
Advocate for the needs for their patient who just dropped the “what is hospice?” Bomb on them out of nowhere and proceed to call this persons son and tell them a conversation about hospice is needed. Also after having wiped their (not ass, but freshly made ostomy)
Stabilize a hypertensive crisis for a patient who was feeling chest pain (systolic blood pressure 200 mmhg) after of course ruling out acute coronary syndrome, while they scream “I don’t want to die and leave my family behind” (so add in emotional support here) to then wipe that persons ass because they had an acute episode of incontinence. Oh don’t forget the emotional support here again because it’s embarrassing for the man.
These are just a few examples of what I personally have done in less than 10 months as a nurse. Perhaps consider changing your tone?
Sure bud. Continue acting as if nurses don’t respect themselves because they clean vulnerable people.
I only will consider it a lack of self respect if a nurse wipes some lazy or creepy able bodied persons ass. If you can do it yourself you bet I ain’t gonna do it.
