She was really agitated/frustrated at times cuz it's hard to communicate with her. I'm glad I only did an 8hrs shift cuz Ill be running out of patience very soon.
I did all the basic care, and took her out to the balcony, and plays her favourite music. I think the biggest lesson I learnt today is how to said no nice/firmly to the patient. She wants to be repositioned every half hour, we just don't have the resources to facilitate that unfortunately.
And she constantly changing her mind/moody all day, so it's hard to keep her happy all the time.
But I've been trying my best to help her and also not to overworked myself, and I did learn a lovely thank you from her, that's enough to make my day I think.
In the afternoon I also helped deproning the same patient from yesterday. The only major difference is that we don't need to put 3 pillows on, the rest are quite similar.
Overall I'm glad it's only an 8hrs day cuz I'm tired.
