So how exactly do you chart this?

Elderly male patient, was just joking with staff in hallway. Therapist doing checks. Look up from nurses to station when I hear therapist calling patients name repeatedly. See the look of fear in therapist eyes. Rush out of nursing station ready to call a code if needed. Therapist yells he just took a big breath. Another nurse and I call his name, shake him with no response. Ready to do some painful stimuli and call the code and Then he opens his eyes, says boo and begins to laugh. He had held his breath and wasn't responding on purpose. He then got an education session on not playing dead.

    LOL, sorry, I had to laugh. You can't say you're job is boring! Just state the facts (only what you witnessed, don't state what you were told). Patient found (in bed/on floor) unresponsive to verbal and non-painful stimuli, not breathing, and (if he looked like he was holding his breath, state - he appeared to be holding his breath)... then: patient opened eyes spontaneously and exclaimed "boo". Patient educated on how holding his breath and pretending to not breath is inappropriate behavior... or something on that line?

    Oh I forget how I wrote it but it was similar to that. A few minutes later he looked at the therapist and said she's mean and then stuck his tongue out at me. Love our geris sometimes.
