Am I obligated to clean up a patient when they are perfectly capable of doing it themselves but are just lazy/want someone else to do it for them? (Physical therapy has determined he is capable of doing it himself)

Thanks everyone I know it's been like a couple years but I wanted to follow up. This instructor did not give any indication before this point that I was doing anything out of the ordinary. I mess up on my first day and I would occasionally get a little frazzzled when she would berate me in front of everyone. But the last week of clinicals she stated "if it were up to me I wouldn't pass you" I did speak to the programs advisor and she came and supervised my past clinical. Said I knew my stuff and there was nothing wrong with my performance. Ended up passing getting my LPN and then eventually my RN now applying to hospitals. Thanks for everyone's advice!

I honestly have no idea what's going on, if it's a fluke or what, but I got my license in an email the same day I took my NCLEX. Like my results aren't even available! Idk what's going on.

I know! If I don't relax I'll be too anxious, if I relax too much I might get careless! AHH!

I cant study for the final exam on Monday because my clinical instructor said told me she might fail me on Wednesday or Thursday (my LAST WEEK before GRADUATION!) I have tried so hard to put it out of my mind just until I pass the exam but I can't. I've barely slept, hardly eaten, and I can't focus on anything! I'm at the end of my rope, what do I do?! Please Help!

Last week my teacher wrote me up for leaving a patient's bed elevated and said that she doesn't want to pass me due to that along with my being easily flustered during my first week. The write-up I understand and accept but I don't really agree that my disorientation in the first week warrants being a contributing factor to an unsatisfactory grade. The facility didnt have a computer we could use, any vitals machines we could use, and most of the staff clearly didn't want us there (most of them couldn't even speak much english). My lecture final exam is tomorrow (Monday), my last clinical days are Wednesday and Thursday and the classes pinning ceremony is on Friday. I am so terrified that even if my class final goes well (I'm nearly at a 4.0) I will fail the night before the graduation ceremony since my teacher has expressed that if I make a single mistake this week, she will fail me. Its been eating away at me all day every day. I've barely eaten, I can't sleep, and trying to concentrate on studying for the final exam is painfully arduous. I don't know what to do!
