i have a question

there is a resident at my nursing home that just got back from the mental hospital. He constantly gets out of bed, and its gotten to the point where everyone just leaves him on the floor. I can hardly get him up by myself, but i just feel too bad for the guy just to leave him down there.

my question comes from the fact he is doing it on purpose. I have seen him scoot to the edge of the bed and deliberately slip onto the floor. He want's the pretty women going in there and touching him. He even peed on himself while the urinal was right next to him just so i could change him.

If he doesn't get the attention he wants he starts knocking on the wall screaming hey at the top of his lungs and when we go in there he is completely fine.

whats the responsibility of the nursing home in this case. he is disrupting resident on a daily basis and putting the health of nurse aides at risk with us having to pull him off the floor. Did i sign up for this?

    @Annie (and others):

    Such a shame seeing a lack of compassion to fellow healthcare workers. Our system really is broken if we can't accept the fact that even as healthcare workers, we are still human. We have limits, and not being able to acknowledge them in ourselves or allow for them in others is when healthcare workers start making mistakes that can seriously endanger their patients. It's also a sign of complete arrogance and overall just makes for a crappy, crappy person to be around.

    Do better. You're in healthcare, for Christ's sake.
