How to handle a patient who is resistant to your care:

Question: The patient in your brief - change video moved all by himself. That is not how it usualy works - They can't move. What to do when they can't move or resist your care??

The Hospice Care Plan Response:

Of course we are showing the most basic version so beginners get the overall process. We have many other videos that discuss how to do it when a patient is rigid, stiff, combative and too heavy for one person to move. Please go deeper into our Patient Care playlist library and thanks for bringing this up. Attached is one that talks specificially about handling an agitated patient.

Thanks for watching and keep us in your daily focus -  Please consider  going to our website to thank us for the FREE videos at  https://www.thehospicecareplan.com/shop-1 and pick up our $7 booklet.
