What does a nursing assistant do when day after day a resident refuses bathing, does not want to change clothes, will not accept medication or allow vital signs to be taken?
In this DVD nursing home staff discuss the resident’s right to refuse care; identify reasons why residents may be refusing care; and explain the importance of documenting and reporting when care is not delivered. Only by understanding reasons why residents are refusing care, can proper interventions be identified. Filmed on-location with staff of Roland Park Place.
Topics: patient rights, refusal of care
Audience: Students in health professional programs. Long-term care, assisted living, adult day care, and hospice staff.
This video is part of the "Resident’s Rights: When the Resident makes Poor Health Choices" series.
