Your Patient

How does your patient differ from people you meet in social situations?

Our patients differ from people we meet in social situations. Reason being, we took care of them, we know what they are struggling through, and we sign an oath to keep their information confidential.

There you go! Homework question answered! Good job!

The main difference is that I don't usually say "let's roll you over and look at your butt" right after meeting someone in a social situation.

And I don't ask people in a social situation if they need more morphine.

I must say, if this is a homework question, it's kind of lame.

P.S. There is no "Oath of Confidentiality" that we sign. We understand HIPAA and follow the laws.

I love this question.

I usually don't go up to strangers and take their baby's vitals.

I don't turn strangers every 2 hours.

I don't listen to strangers lungs.

I usually have a drink with people in a social situation which is frowned upon in the nurse-patient relationship.. but I did find a bottle of wine in the med cart once

You dont !!!!!!!! I am shocked

I usually don't say in a social situation, take off all your clothes, including your underpants and bra.

I don't ask people in social situations if they've pooped today, and if so, what did it look like?

I do this sometimes.

The people I meet in real life don't usually have their ass hanging out of a hospital gown.

*USUALLY*

Hopefully in every way possible; it's my job, after all. When do we stop doing people's homework for them on this site?
