Never argue with a delusional pt or try to "fix" the delusion...you can not win. To that person it is reality. You can only offer reality based things from your end, to build trust, approach them slowly, encourage them to voice their own feelings/n...

Greetings!!! Take things one at a time. Try to arrange a visit with a pediatric nurse...maybe you could follow one for a few hours on their unit. Also, there are lots of volunteer jobs a most hospitals...maybe you could present yourself to the Can...

Ok Friends....need a bit of colaboration here.....how do you understand the giving of digitalis.....? I have seen so many different "ways" if giving it/understanding it....that I just wonder what others think/do...... I am perserving my opinion.........
