Issues related to intimacy and sexual or
even quasi sexual behavior in the nursing home evoke the type of running debate
and emotional responses such as we have seen here. The debates are similar
whether at the staff level or the corporate or Board of DIrector levels.
Everyone brings their own personal perspective into the assessment and
approaches they believe are best. A similar dynamic is true in the area of
pain assessment and management to give another more "clinical" example.
Because it is likely that everyone will be called upon to participate in some
level of assessment and management of these very common issues, it may be useful
to recognize where one's own personal feelings and tendencies lie.
Sometimes that is the most difficult part when there is no absolute right or
wrong answer.
