Should nurses be terminated if they yell or scream at a patient? What should happen if a patient yells back?

Question

after she yells at him or her?

Answer 1

if they were not provoked then yes. If a patient its yelling at them first than no!

Answer 2

The nurse should be fired!!! And the patient has every right to yell back. I would had called the nurse's supervisor, raised some he11, and screamed at the top of my lungs so the entire hospital would hear how this nurse treated me. I would refuse to pay my bill, get a lawyer, and sue the pants off of that nurse and the hospital for anything I could sue them for.

But, of course, I am not a good patient. I hate hospitals and the nurses don't like me too much either.

Answer 3

eek, its a matter of respect, just cuz a nurse has a bad day and a patient isnt behaving right doesnt give right to yell, now terminating is a harsh punishment but something should be done, maybe a temp suspention, i say if the patient yells back then sedate em, er i mean if its unjustified yelling then the patient should be allowed

Answer 4

Nurses should never yell at the patient, no matter what. That would be like a cop shooting at every criminal he/she comes in contact with.

Answer 5

i dont think so. some patients need to be yelled at if anything is to done to make them get well soon. He/she has the right to yell back,

Answer 6

No, if the patient yells back, the nurse should slap the dog sh!t out of her/him.

Answer 7

Yelling and screaming is perfectly acceptable in every psych ward I have ever been admitted into. (true) --Rat

Answer 8

well unruly pt. can just get a suppository, give him the golden trots for a hour or so, oh but we never yell at them, we let the DOCTORS do that

Answer 9

IF SHE/HE ARE DOING FOR THEM TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING NO. BUT IF THEY ARE BEING MEAN YES. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CRABBY PATIENT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO MISTREAT THEM.

Answer 10

no they don't have right to yell at us
