Her name wasn't really Nellie, but when she'd get to cussin' and a screamin' at us we'd say "Woah Nellie." Don't really know why, but it ended up being our pet name for her. She was a tough ol' bird as they say, but you had to love her. She was full of spit and vinegar and I will always remember her.

That's such an interesting story, reminding me of some dementia patients I've taken care of.

The thing that does puzzle me: Lately I've had Hospice CNA's & the DON's tell me that we can't force ANY patients to shower/bathe, including dementia patients. My argument is that these patients are not competent to make basic medical care decisions, so we MUST bathe/shower them when they need.

What is the concensus here?
