Can you guys help me? I am so upset and depressed I just don't know what to do!! Situation:
We have a resident, who is a hypochondriac. It is hard to tell if she is really sick, as she has cried wolf so many times. Anyways, she stayed in bed all day yesterday, nothing charted except she stayed in bed and had tray service. So I go with her supper pills and she's sitting up, in NAD, so I said that of she wanted her supper, it was on the table and she could come and get it. An hour later, family member comes and said he was taking her home for a few days as she is so upset because the nurse told her "get your a$$ out of bed and get upstairs, this isn't a goddamn restaurant." I was so shocked because I never said ANYTHING of that sort, and I told him I do not speak to people that way. He was like "whatever," so I went and told the resident in front of her family member that I did not say that, and she just said, "I don't want to talk about it." She was collapsing in his arms, carrying on....
So now what is my recourse? What do I do? I did not say such a thing and I know it will come down to my word against hers....she is "with it," and I am upset because she out and out lied, and I can get in trouble for something I never even said. I have been there for a long time and have never had trouble like this....Please give me some advice!!!!!
