    PDN, what specifically is it?
  3. I'm heading off for a bit, letting you know. I will return tonight at around 11. Did not notify anyone before though now I am. Graceful day everyone
  4. Alright. Thank you. Another few things, if it would would alright with you? I've been having conflicts with feeding. He is very friendly and cooperates as much as he can. But his body still has hardship. First thing, his tongue and mouth have re...
  5. He obsessively runs his hands or fingers along his lenses. Not accidental smudges. Rather like he is deliberately messing with them. How can I let him know I'm concerned and maybe communicate further enough to maybe find what or why this is a habit...
  6. I am thinking why he would be doing this as well. He does not have impulsive gestures (besides reflexes). Usually he knows what he is moving his hands to do and he can fully understand. There's just poor coordination. Any help on that? It is hard ...
  7. JustBeachyNurse, you seem to be helping quite a bit. Thank you. Even though that is description for adult and elderly caretaking, it is very good in helping me care for my patient! It helped me understand a few things. However one thing I still pos...
  8. We are a small Island nation, west of the United State of Hawaii. We are out own little division of the world. We are secluded physically and by daily or personal contact. We speak English, Spanish, some Dansuk, and we have our alphabetation, inclu...
  9. Thank you. I will check it out and get back.
  10. I've done string nursing before this. Do you know of the term string nursing? Do you haveb this?
  11. I was trained in community, in classes, then two weeks with a personal guide. Not a good education system but we at doing best we can. My patient is only the second case of disorders that are this severe. I was doing string nursing and I volunteer...
  12. For dudette10 You say It is obvious you are not in the US and that you may not have had the education and resources that nurses and caregivers have here. However, I am impressed with your commitment to doing a good job for your patient, and your d...
  13. This is of everyone here- Second year in business since I've previously got schooling.* We dont have a good education system here. And there isn't too much to study when it comes to conditions.* My patient is actually the second case in all of our r...
  14. Second year in business since I've previously got schooling. We dont have a good education system here. And there isn't too much to study when it comes to conditions. My patient is actually the second case in all of our reports. We are still workin...
  15. I am worried about my patient's dignity. We are nurse and patient yet we are buddies, and I would like him to have it easiest as possible. How do I allow him to have as much dignity as possible during diaper changes and baths and physicals? Descrip...
  16. I know how but I am just asking how you guys think I could help keep him from losing dignity. I don't want him feeling humiliated.
  17. What do you mean? And sorry, but what does fish do in the discussion?
  18. I am mostly concerned about the "personal" care. Anyone else have advice on the bathing and diapering and dressing? How I can help him with dignity at that point? Please?
  19. I am not sure. We are just closed in I guess. I think of it as the Bermuda Triangle. Have you heard about this? Well, our nation is like that. No one studies it and not many people reach here. As you would probably say, it is abridged (if I used tha...
  20. I have nothing on my list besides being nurse. I often get stressed.
  21. We have social media however I'd actually prefer help and personal answers from higher educated nurses and many some with more experience.
  22. I can tell you where I'm from and residing. No problem with that. However it is confidential and unrecorded in most public views. It may be undocumented for you guys of the US. My nation is titled as Natiun nérby Kind, Nation of (by, for) Grace in ...
  23. Thanks for cooperating. And I will see that and get back to you.
  24. Answering to this and all. It is difficult to understand half of what you are saying but I am trying. I like in a confidential and closed in nation. It is west from the US state of Haiwaii (however you spell it, dear) It is not specified in a cont...
  25. I mean by the diapering and bathing please.
