In the facility that I work in, they actually encourage us to tell them that, its better than doing anything against their will. At the end of the day, my patients are clean and happy.

Try contacting the family to see if they may be able to come in and talk to her. I have found that the patients are more responsive when their kids come and talk to them. Also, I know its a long shot, but have you tried asking her "Would you mind helping me out? I really need to get this shower done, I don't want to get fired" Sometimes with difficult patients, this works because it seems more like its a team effort and they're helping you keep your job rather than you taking care of them, they feel less helpless. I had a difficult patient who refused to let me change is depends with BM in it unless I asked this way... let us know how it all turns out
