Thank you so much! Your advice will come in handy when I start. I will keep all of that in mind, and will reach out to my company with my concerns. This client lives within a facility, and the family hired my company to do one on one care with them while they are living there, so I am hoping I will have back up from the other CNA's and nurses if something were to happen.

Hello everyone! I could really use some advice here. I just started a new job as a CNA working one on one with elderly clients. I just received the chart of my first client and basically it details that my client is "6'4, 250 pounds, physically violent, verbally abusive and extremely sexually aggressive towards caregivers". I was wondering if you guys had any tips that could help me when dealing with this client. How can I calm them down if they become aggressive? How should I respond when inappropriate comments are made? How can I help myself cope when rude/mean things are said? Thank you all so much, all input is appreciated!!
