Family Feud: What would a nurse want to do to a hot male patient

Nurses General Nursing

Published

The question pretty much asked what task a nurse would fight to perform on a hot male patient... i only saw this because I was in a waiting room but the answers were to give a sponge bath, take a temperature (rectal), give a needle, or take their blood pressure............... I know this is a game show and I don't know who is surveyed for these questions or answers but for someone not taken off guard too easily I was pretty confused by the stereotyping. Thought it was interesting to mention.

Was this the show where a lady participant jumps and waves her arm yelling "an enema"? I know what you're talking about.

'Family Feud' has DECLINED over the years. There has been a marked shift to snarky, innuendo, wink-wink, sexy questions. And nursing has taken a direct hit. The show doesn't profile law enforcement, military or school teachers. It does occ knock doctors & hospitals and the occ lawyer putdown. But nursing is always a joking matter.

I used to like Steve Harvey, but he has become a vehicle for the show's smarmy decline. He's like a puppet cartoon character for the show in an effort to bolster its ratings. Sad!

And it's sad that the 'hot, horny, sexy nurse' image is so rampantly promoted on this show. I haven't had to look at greeting cards lately, but 'get well' cards were on the same wavelength. As are Halloween costumes still.

The image still exists and will continue to do so even in spite of all the advanced education.

Thank you! They were really disappointed when their response of inserting a catheter was wrong........... Really is such an eye opener!!!!

I'm going to look into how they conduct their surveys. I have literally never heard any nurse talk about that in 41 years, and since I was 19 when I graduated from nursing school, you can't toss the old retorts about jealous old nurses not understanding the modern nurse of today.

This. It seems like they're often after getting videos to go viral, and trying to set them up to do so.

Sorry.

Please, don't be. The visual gets the point across most eloquently!

I used to love the show Family Feud, but I totally agree that it's become too sleezy. I don't watch it anymore. The show was so good before.
