Family Feud: What would a nurse want to do to a hot male patient

Nurses General Nursing

Published

The question pretty much asked what task a nurse would fight to perform on a hot male patient... i only saw this because I was in a waiting room but the answers were to give a sponge bath, take a temperature (rectal), give a needle, or take their blood pressure............... I know this is a game show and I don't know who is surveyed for these questions or answers but for someone not taken off guard too easily I was pretty confused by the stereotyping. Thought it was interesting to mention.

Was this the show where a lady participant jumps and waves her arm yelling "an enema"? I know what you're talking about.

'Family Feud' has DECLINED over the years. There has been a marked shift to snarky, innuendo, wink-wink, sexy questions. And nursing has taken a direct hit. The show doesn't profile law enforcement, military or school teachers. It does occ knock doctors & hospitals and the occ lawyer putdown. But nursing is always a joking matter.

I used to like Steve Harvey, but he has become a vehicle for the show's smarmy decline. He's like a puppet cartoon character for the show in an effort to bolster its ratings. Sad!

And it's sad that the 'hot, horny, sexy nurse' image is so rampantly promoted on this show. I haven't had to look at greeting cards lately, but 'get well' cards were on the same wavelength. As are Halloween costumes still.

The image still exists and will continue to do so even in spite of all the advanced education.

Thank you! They were really disappointed when their response of inserting a catheter was wrong........... Really is such an eye opener!!!!

I'm going to look into how they conduct their surveys. I have literally never heard any nurse talk about that in 41 years, and since I was 19 when I graduated from nursing school, you can't toss the old retorts about jealous old nurses not understanding the modern nurse of today.

This. It seems like they're often after getting videos to go viral, and trying to set them up to do so.

Sorry.

Please, don't be. The visual gets the point across most eloquently!

I used to love the show Family Feud, but I totally agree that it's become too sleezy. I don't watch it anymore. The show was so good before.

What I'm stuck on is how, where ever they got these answers, it was apparently assumed that doing ANYTHING to a sexy part is....good?

Oh man, nice butt, let me put a rectal thermometer in it! Isn't that sexy?

Too sick to take a shower? Here, let me clean out that smegma for you.

Is placing a catheter alluring, too? :sarcastic:

I vote for every nurse out there to send multiple Tweets and Facebook about this. Publicly shame them and embarrass them. I just went on a Twitter war with a company that would absolutely not agree to repair a cracking refrigerator control panel on a 5 month old refrigerator with 7 months on the warranty insisting it was a "cosmetic" issue. Within 24 hours of negative Tweets (79 total) a regional VP personally called me on the phone. The part has been ordered. People pay attention to negative social media. Squeeze their shoes and squeeze them hard, point out how old, tired and stale this stereotype is, make the show sound uneducated, irrelevant and corny and use lots of hashtags. I can promise it will get them to back off the topic and pick on someone else.

What would I want to do to a hot male patient? Hmmm....I guess I would want to provide interventions and monitor his condition in order to help him returned to his optimal level of wellness. Is that one of the answers on the board?
