nursing staff discussion
20 minutes

Long-term care staff must protect resident's rights to privacy and safety which may become confusing as they concern sexuality and resident to resident intimacy. What if one or both of the residents have a diagnosis of dementia? Does either resident have a spouse or an adult child who does not approve of the new relationship? When appropriate, how can residents be given necessary privacy? What happens when inhibition control is diminished? What happens when a resident develops an unwanted attraction for another resident or demonstrates sexual behaviors which are offensive or frightening to another resident? In this program nursing staff share their experiences in dealing with these important questions.
Topics: physical sexual behaviors, privacy, dementia, relationships
Audience: Long-term care, hospice and home health care staff; students in allied health training programs
