Residents who don't get along

To me, that's abuse.

I care for two residents in particular who are in beds B and C in a three-bed room (the lady in bed A is very quiet and doesn't take any mind of B and C). Resident C has back pain, contractures in her arms and legs, and a decub on her rear, and will groan or ask out loud for help. Resident B, who is ambulatory with walker and very alert, will talk back to her... along the lines of:
"OoOOOh, it hurts!! When are my pain pills coming?"
"If it were ME, I'd be up getting those pain pills my own darn self. Shut up!"

Resident C asked me yesterday to tell Resident B that she only makes noise if she's in pain, and to please not yell back at her. I politely conveyed this message; Res B would have none of it. Aside from keeping Res C supplied with water to drink, positioned comfortably, and checking in on her every so often, I'm not sure what I could do to ameliorate the situation.

What action are you suggesting is abuse? Moving a patient to a different room, or forcing one to have to suffer being harrased by another patient?

Residents that act this way towards one another are a bit nerve racking but then again they all have their own personal opinions and personalities and some really need a room change...or therapy.

the unfortunate thing is that some people are just like this. and changing rooms is not going to do anything. because i can guarantee that if its a part of this resident's personality, they will find something wrong with another roomate.
