RE: what to do

[Debbie Settle]

Try to find out just what his objection to bathing is.....does he get cold, is he modest, is a "shower" or "bathtub" something he has ever used before, has he had a bad experience w/ bathing in the past, etc..... If there is no reason or rhyme to his objection you are on the right trcak w/ the psych consult. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 7:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: what to do Does anyone have any suggestions in how to get a resident to take a shower, bath or just plain wash up. I have a resident who is totally against anytype of bathing . He becomes very belligerent toward staff. Psych, consult is ordered. He has no family , only guardianship with family services. thanks nancy
