Howdy!
My moms neighbor knows I'm ED RN, and i was recently approached by her to care for her husband while she is out of town for 5 days. I said i would be happy to help, but then she started listing off the things i would be doing for him. The gentleman has multiple co-morbidities, is a very high fall risk, and will require a decent amount of attention. The care part i can handle, it just seems like a HUGE liability on me to be doing this kind of care outside of my facility, if god forbid, something bad were to happen. My nursing judgement is just telling me that this is all around not a good situation to put myself in.
What do you all think? I'd appreciate any input!
