13. Feeding and toileting

    nurse_elyse replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric

    I can't believe the administration would rather their resident’s sit in their own urine/feces and try to eat a meal, along with others around their table, and feel that it's ok to do that. Obviously they have never had an accident while out shopping ...
