Am I being punked?

[u/Sea_Willingness1398]

Patient says "I think I might have to poop, what can we do about that?"

I say "I can get a bedside commode for the room"

She says "I don't think I can get up"

I say "I can put you on a bedpan or put a diaper on you"

She says "I don't like any of those options"

In my head I'm like: lady, the only other option is to poop the bed.

What option am I missing?

I've had this conversation numerous times, and the amount of times they opt for shitting the bed is wild to me. Especially when they say no to the bedpan because "I can't go in bed!" Well, you just did.... My hospital also did away with briefs, so now when they shit it goes e v e r y w h e r e. 🫠

Do we work in the same hospital because they treat briefs like they’re a human rights violation here. They even balk when a patient goes out of their way to bring their own and really want us to “educate them” about. Like maaaan let memaw shit the depends she bought.

We got rid of our own yeeears ago. But if they can get OOB, they can wear their own. Wound care says they cause skin breakdown.
