How do i deal with a patient that has socially incorrect behavior, lacking civility and has bad manners?

Answer 1

Patients who have suffered a right brain stroke are often inappropriate. The only thing that works with them is directness, by saying ,"that's inappropriate behavior". You need to tell them because they have no insight.

Answer 2

Be more specific.

With the limited info you have given I can tell you this much. Address each problem area individually with your patient, and I would recommend not doing so in the "heat" of the moment. Explain what effect the behavior(s) have on you or others. And by any and all means, be sure to offer ideas of what this person CAN or SHOULD do as an alternative, and give examples, because only stressing what he shouldn't do will only frustrate if not depress him further.

I seriously seriously recommend the program below and you can look it up for free. I used to work at a government place with some really BAD client complainers - think the DMV on a rainy Friday at 4! This program really helped. Seriously. Good luck.

In your line of work, you need it!

Answer 4

I need to know more. Is this person suffering from dementia. If he/she is, he doesn't know what's he/she is doing. It's so hard to deal w/ difficult patients that are abusive to staff. That's why I choose NOT to work w/ alzheimers or dementia patients because my tolerance level is low. Perhaps yours is like mine. Have you considered moving to a different department/floor. Patients like that are very trying and eventually will burn us out.

Answer 5

only, placed it truly is a cultural massive difference, for instance, human beings view us human beings as impolite, loud, mean, or etc. besides the undeniable fact that it truly is in reality like that of their eyes, quite, it truly is only the version between us all and the reactions that were certainly taught to us. i'm really positive human beings can make an apology for bumping into one yet another, I actually have a Korean pal who became surprised that in Western way of existence, human beings tend to be a lot extra open about their reviews and are extra informal with one yet another, yet Korea and the different international places are extra classic jap international places the position the manners in society are extra strict, in Korea they actually have a formality equipment and all even as we do not quite have one, besides the undeniable fact that it truly is polite to be careful and civil round others. i have self assurance that human beings take too many of the alterations between everyone and change it into some thing harsh and in no way genuine even as quite, it truly is only way of existence....

Answer 6

first, i don't think that is part of your job, i know it is a difficult one.. much respect to you.

second, if they aren't mentally handicapped then i would tell them that you would like to be treated how you are treating them.. teach them or let them know what they are doing wrong - in a nice manner of course - maybe no one ever taught them.

third, can't you file a complaint or talk to a supervisor?

i know i would treat someone that was helping me like a piece of crap.. i guess it depends on how you were raised. if none of those work, i would be nasty not give her something he/she wants, like pain meds! LOL - treat them like an animal if they are going to act like one, reward good behavior.
good luck!
