Why oh why

Why do the majority of confused patients end up naked? You walk into the room, and there they are, sans clothes. I just don't get it :lol2:

I can understand this from the confused, but I have never understood why a woman would rip off her clothes in labor and remain naked until delivery. Many who are going natural do, I figure its because they are hot and irritated.

Honestly, I had one who was naked and walking in the room. It didn't get annoying until she started to squat ANYWHERE she was when the urge struck and push. I had to follow her around and put a chux under her to catch *things* whenever she pushed. Eventually, even her husband began to look perplexed.

Has anyone here seen the movie "The Fisher King".....Robin Williams??

There's a scene that made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants....it's where he gets his best buddy to disrobe in the middle of Central Park in the middle of the night, lay naked in the grass and sing, 'I like New York in June, how about you?":Melody:

Maybe they are just airin' things out a little!!

well, it is freeing. maybe they think that if they remove their clothing, they can remove the clutter they are experiencing in their thought process.[/quote]

Well, this has been my laugh for the morning!

Had a confused female once who we found naked, standing at the side of her bed (both long side rails still up), straddling a little kidney pan she had put on the floor between her feet and was trying to pee into it. The bathroom was just a few steps away. You forgot to mention that these patients are also Houdini's and can override any kind of safety techniques you employ to keep them from potential injury! I'm thinking that the clothing somehow irritates, or they perceive it irritates, their skin which is why they insist on taking it off. I've had nylon nightgowns that I just couldn't tolerate wearing to bed because they creeped out my skin.
