How often are you verbally, physically, or mentally abused as a nurse in a day? Week? or year?

Does projectile pooping in the isolette qualify as abuse?Me: You intentionally waited until I pulled your diaper down so that you can spray 3 hrs worth of poop all over the isolette.Baby: I'm just an innocent baby that has no bowel control.Me: So it was pure coincidence that you had to poop the exact moment I pulled your diaper down?Baby: I have no idea what you are talking about. Now clean my butt and clean up this mess. It stinks in here and I want to take a nap.

Tiny meconium footprints all over the inside of said isolette is very, very difficult to both clean and explain.

Because I work with an acutely ill Psychiatric population I don't see their behavior as abusive. Most of my patients are very sick people who are not in control of their behavior or are out of contact with reality. I am pretty good at verbal de-escalation and can bob and weave with the best of them . I have also picked up a few evasive and escape moves from my son who fights MMA. Actually physical contact is rare though.

This question (series of questions) need some serious boundaries.
There. Was that abusive enough for you?
