Re: question for group

Great point Nathan, also remember the psychosocial section for the resident establishing own goals and perceiving daily routine is very different from prior pattern in the community.

We had quite a conflict with one resident who made a fuss about Catholic Mass on Wednesday, She wanted it changed as soon as she was admitted.

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.
