What would you do if your patient who is 95 years old ignores when you tell him to sit on the commode for taking his pants off and stands and do it and while you were helping him he falls? I feel guilty because he bruised his ribs. Is It right to think I could have prevented that. Loosing my sleep over it.

He lives in the retirement home.

They did xray 6 months ago .Now his son says there is no point in doing another xray as there is no treatment for hairline fracture. I just feel guilty that he got hurt while I was doing his care. I am worried if he still has that crack he may catch pneumonia

What should I do? 6 months ago my 96 years old resident fell while I was providing him care and got hairline fracture of the rib.should I still get him checked with x-ray. I am worried he ll get pneumonia and die.
