Re: Funny things that pts say
A nurse once asked me to restrain a pt.
I received all the usual questions/statements a confused person will ask/say in this situation.
"Well, why do you have to do that?" (I just told them why.)
"I'm not trying to get out of bed." (After I go in there 10+ times to find them half-way in a standing position.)
"It's not for my safety." Etc, etc.
But I was really thrown off when this one elderly male patient continued his series of questions, to ask "Well, why? Do you think I will masturbate? I can't even find my ****."
LMAO!
