Tricks to getting patients to do what you want?

Re: Centex, she was entirely dependent on the husband. Even though she has no activity limitations, she had activity tolerance and could barely lift her extremities. I told the husband I can get the supplys and he can do it, but he said that she just didnt want one. I told the staff nurse but they didnt seem to care enough to intervene. I forgot what they said. I told the husband about the UTI risk, but I dont know if he relayed the info or not. I guess I should have told him to do so to see what she says.

Re: 13going, they were hindu, but thx for the spanish insight. The husband didnt seem to mind me taking care of the wife as I did an abdominal inspection and everything. It was more of the wife not wanting me to see anything.

My instructor said that I should just come in and say "alright, time for your bath!". But my lecturer said I should let patients direct their care as to when they want a bath/etc. So im really confused.
