First thing I do when entering a sleeping patient. I say “I’m gonna be your favorite person today. I’m not gonna poke you or make you get up. Just clean up the place. Would you like your blankets changed for warm ones after I take these old ones?” I had pure empathy. Being in the hospital is scary so I try to comfort the patient while not interfering with nurse/dr’s
Thanks- I believe what we do is so important. I don’t think people realize sometimes that we are actually doing our best to help keep them Safe. But, that what we really are doing- bless y’all
