Thanks for the reply i was able to give her a shower but, she refused to wash her hair.

Hello...I am a caregiver and i am studying for my nursing boards. I have a client that has dementia and I just need some advice regarding my patient. I really care about my patient and her health. The problem is that my patient seems to not want to take a shower...I have already told her the benefits of hygiene...and I dont want to ignore that...it really got me bummed today because she kept on refusing to take a bath and I know i should not be forced to give her a shower. I have taken her out and and i would feel embarassed about her hygiene and the fact that most importantly havent did my part in taking care of her. For me It looks bad on me because people...will look at me...and think "oh this caregiver is totally neglecting this patient. Help what should i do? .

Thanks everyone for the reply...right now i have the nclex pn comp review edition 3 saunders...so far i have got one chapter down and the I answered most of the questions right there were 2 that i missed out of 10 questions.

I have failed the nclex 4 times...dont know whats going on? I have been really depressed for months...and now iam taking lexapro...so far ive been on it for 2 weeks after receiving my results in the mail. Got any suggestions of how to study and how everyone passed their boards? :stone. thanks
