My daughter recently suffered a back injury when a client repeatedly ignored the EMT warnings to keep hands inside the stretcher and instead grabbed a stair rail while being transprted. An UAP was fired and then reinstated after allegations by an alert and oriented client were proven false. I was once vomited on by a client who AIMED the stuff at me!
I wonder how many have been harmed by a client who was either acting out of anger/stress or acting in defiance of common sense and the caregiver's advice?
Do employers seem to be concerned about this, or jusat cover themselves with the line ,"It is part of the job description."?
