Good response Nathan. I tend to use the word "declined" care as the resident is made aware of possible complications etc.   dawn       ----- Original Message ----- From: Nathan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 12:30 AM Subject: Re: question for group There is a difference between refusing and resisting. If someone is alert and oriented you should not attempt to deliver care that they don't want. If you document that they are A&Ox3 and resisiting, the assumption must be that your are forcing them against their will.   Document that the resident refused care, not resisted.   Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Corey Ali To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 7:13 PM Subject: Re: question for group Where, Please? ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 9:33 PM Subject: Re: question for group In a message dated 2/5/2004 6:21:17 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is there a new rule somewhere that anyone who is alert & oriented can't be considered to be resisting care?  It's not a new rule.
