I work in a nursing home, and am no stranger to inappropriate comments. I'm always straightforward with my residents and let them know that their comment was inappropriate and not appreciated.
But. Today one of my male residents asked me point blank if my chest was all natural or fake, which really ****** me off. I told him I wasn't answering that question because it was none of his business. To which he responded, well you didn't answer my question: fake or natural? At this point I snapped that the question was inappropriate and finished his cares in silence.
How do you deal with inappropriate/Pervy patients or residents? I feel bad that I lost my temper and snapped at him, but he wouldn't leave it alone.
I do know that one important thing was to document the behavior, and I failed to do so. Other than that, things I could have done differently?
