So many thoughts

2025-03-05 18:20:52 UTC

The patient may have been embarrassed to change into the gown. The nurse could have changed her tone, asked instead of told the patient. There are many steps the nurse could have taken before threatening to call security.

2025-04-03 21:16:47 UTC

This scenario was a train wreck. The patient did not seem interested in participating in his cares and the nurse was bossy, rude and overall unsuccessful in getting the patient in his gown.

Patient definitely responded

2025-04-10 21:54:36 UTC

The nurse definitely did not set a good tone for the interaction and then the patient responded in the same way.

patient being told what to do. RN speaking quickly and with a negative tone, immediately went to threatening behavior

2025-06-12 17:15:23 UTC

The patient is an older male whereas the nurse tending to him is female. He may dislike the fact that a woman is attempting to tell him what to. The nurse was also displaying dominance which did not help the situation; it made him more defensive. Undressing can make someone feel vulnerable. The patient is already uncomfortable, and this situation could have him feeling a loss of control that he wants to gain back.

2025-06-26 18:43:20 UTC

2025-06-26 18:55:33 UTC

I think that the pt thought the RN was talking to him in an aggressive manner and not explaining WHY he needed to change

2025-06-26 18:55:36 UTC

very negative approach leads to negative response

2025-06-26 19:25:01 UTC

aggressive approach means a defensive reaction

2025-06-26 19:33:51 UTC

the patient wasn't understanding the situation and the tone of the nurse wasn't helpful

Demanding, with no explanation on what was going on. Just plain disrespectful.

2025-06-26 20:08:45 UTC

2025-06-26 20:14:28 UTC

bad approach to patient got a negative response.

2025-06-26 21:02:24 UTC

Approach with a positive attitude

2025-06-26 21:13:03 UTC

disrespectful communication and tone of voice derailed the entire conversation. Its not what you say, but how you say it.

Q: What went wrong?

2025-06-26 21:15:15 UTC

A: She was demanding about changing instead of letting him know why he needed to change.

2025-06-26 21:17:28 UTC

Nurse was demanding with no explanation.

Both parties are being aggressive with each other and aggression just breeds more aggression.

2025-06-26 22:28:57 UTC

normalizing it such as telling the patient that it is a standard for every patient and that we can try to compromise such as giving privacy to an extent or even asking if they can keep some clothing on under. depending on the exam needs

2025-06-26 23:43:15 UTC

never demand anything

2025-06-27 00:06:25 UTC

Discussion

2025-06-27 00:19:31 UTC

Pt thought that they were being ordered around. Nurse felt that they were being disrespected and they are just trying to do their job. The nurse escalated things and it did not work.

2025-06-27 00:33:08 UTC

The nurse could have explained to the patient that patients wear gowns so that the tests that are going to be done can be done in a clean and more accessible manner and that she does not want to get his nice clothes dirty from any tests that may need to be done. The patient was probably already irritated because he is in the hospital and the nurse did not display compassion or respect.

They both were irritated and didn't go about it the right way

2025-06-27 00:51:26 UTC

the patient was getting upset because he thought the nurse was bossing him around

2025-06-27 02:25:09 UTC

attitude

2025-06-27 02:56:45 UTC

they would both be happy

2025-06-27 03:04:20 UTC

they both were frusterated

be professional

2025-06-27 03:04:57 UTC

being professional goes along way

2025-06-27 04:37:47 UTC

not explaining to a patient, the next steps and why we're doing what we're doing often leads to anger and defensive behaviors. the nurse had no patience in this scenario.

2025-06-27 06:10:48 UTC

Leading with understanding was not something that occurred. Being in a healthcare setting can make someone on edge and adding to the cons of a trip in can put them over edge.

Nurse has aggressive tone and approach

2025-06-27 06:29:30 UTC

2025-06-27 08:08:06 UTC

The nurse did not encourage the patient's autonomy.

Nurse had bossy, aggressive behavior. Calling security is ridiculous!

2025-06-27 11:52:13 UTC

nurse took autonomy away from patient

2025-06-27 13:39:20 UTC

you cant force a patient to do anything they want to do, and using the phrase "because I told you so" is very disrespectful and rude.

2025-06-27 14:02:27 UTC

2025-06-27 14:24:33 UTC

The nurse was threatening.

agressive

2025-06-27 14:49:48 UTC

The RN must be having a bad day. no need to force this man to change into a gown.

2025-06-27 15:11:15 UTC

both parties were in bad moods and nothing good can come from a negative environment

nurse should be fired for rudeness

2025-06-27 15:49:01 UTC

2025-06-27 16:24:57 UTC

Nurse needs to take time (slowdown) to communicate with patient and understand patient needs, explain process and provide instructions to help patient.

The nurse set a negative tone from the beginning and then escalated to security immediately. Im guessing he didnt put on the gown

2025-06-27 16:49:38 UTC

you can make all the difference in someones day and care.

The nurse approached the patient with demands instead of asking and explaining why he needs to get in a gown. When the patient declines, she automatically resorts to contacting security without trying to deescalate the situation.

2025-06-27 16:53:58 UTC

What do you think the patient was thinking?

2025-06-27 17:10:41 UTC

This nurse is very rude

2025-06-27 17:31:32 UTC

The whole scenario was terrible. The nurse was mean.

2025-06-27 17:38:10 UTC

The patient thought it was unimportant, the nurse just was trying to do her job and may have been thinking about a lot of other things. the nurse wasn't helpful to the situation and should have tried explaining more before escalating, in the end nothing was accomplished.

2025-06-27 17:51:35 UTC

The nurse was over aggressive causing the patient to be confrontational.

Aggressive tones. Not explaining why the gown was needed just demanding he put it on.

2025-06-27 17:52:18 UTC

2025-06-27 17:55:19 UTC

RN should not say "I'm telling you"

2025-06-27 18:00:00 UTC

Patient felt like what was happening was not within his control. Nurse talked in a very superior/demanding tone.

Oh yikes! The nurses voice immediately put the patient on the defensive. Not great for building a rapport.

2025-06-27 18:19:45 UTC

no respect was given, complete power play

2025-06-27 19:03:11 UTC

2025-06-27 20:53:44 UTC

The nurse was rude and demanding.

2025-06-27 21:36:59 UTC

The nurse stated demands instead of giving options. The patient probably felt confused and belittled instead of explained the reasoning behind needing to wear a gown.

the patient is missing the rationale of why he needs to be in a gown

2025-06-27 21:50:55 UTC

The nurse started off with aggressively telling the patient he needs to change. She didnt explain why its important, instead she went straight to threatening to call security

2025-06-27 22:17:08 UTC

2025-06-27 23:04:31 UTC

always ask give choices too many times ive seen staff just come in and start doing things without talking to the patient.

Anonymous

2025-06-28 00:54:03 UTC

The nurse demanding he get into a gown without introducing yourself or even giving a reason for being told why he needed to wear a gown.

2025-06-28 03:37:40 UTC

The nurse never explained why she wanted the patient to change into the gown. She was also very rude towards the patient.

First Impressions

2025-06-28 04:39:46 UTC

From the start the RN came across as cold, rude and uncaring. The patient was only reacting to the way he was being spoken to. This would off-put any patient. Not to mention speaking to him as if he was a child.

I think the nurse could have given the patient a better reason on why he needed to change into a gown and put that reason in when saying to him that he needs to put it on. She could have sounded more caring because it sounded like she just wanted to get it over with and just sounded aggressive with her approach.

2025-06-28 05:25:07 UTC

communication without negativity can lead to positivity

2025-06-28 07:01:30 UTC

nurse was not helping the patient understand the situation

2025-06-28 07:47:24 UTC

Perfectly avoidable

2025-06-28 10:44:01 UTC

De-escalation could have been executed on either side, although arguably the nurse had the responsibility to de-escalate the situation. Either by changing the tone of communication or via explanation of the need to gown up.

Tone of the nurse was demanding and almost demeaning. Patient was not given any autonomy and was threatened with security. The outcome lead to a poor patient response and the task was unable to be completed.

2025-06-28 12:09:05 UTC

The nurse was mean.

2025-06-28 12:58:45 UTC

Nurse was bossy which did not help the situation. A better approach to getting the patient dressed would have improved the situation

2025-06-28 13:18:47 UTC

2025-06-28 13:28:02 UTC

A very negative approach.

2025-06-28 14:49:39 UTC

The nurse should have explained why the patient needed to change into a gown. She was too short and threatened security only escalated it.

2025-06-28 16:06:36 UTC

train wreck waiting to happen

The nurse should have started in a kinder way and explain in a better way instead of ordering the patient, patient probably felt there was no choice but declined due to attitude.

2025-06-28 17:28:00 UTC

Just do what your told.. Pt I’m not 3.

2025-06-28 17:39:40 UTC

2025-06-28 18:06:53 UTC

Quick to escalate

What went wrong?

2025-06-28 18:18:59 UTC

The nurse did not explain why he needed to change into the gown.

what do you think the nurse was thinking

2025-06-28 19:27:12 UTC

possibly this nurse does not know how she comes across, because she is busy, and stressed. To the nurse she feels she sounds one way when actually she sounded the other way.

aggressive approach leads to negative response

2025-06-28 19:31:58 UTC

what did the nurse do to try and help the siutation

2025-06-28 22:08:39 UTC

nothing

2025-06-28 23:29:46 UTC

He was just mirroring her attitude

2025-06-29 01:54:44 UTC

I think that the patient felt that the RN was aggressive in her approach and not listening to him nor explaining things well at all.

The nurse was confrontational and the patient responded similary.

2025-06-29 02:33:00 UTC

2025-06-29 04:31:51 UTC

the patient's reluctance to change was entirely understandable. the nurse provided an absolute demand to an individual with their own autonomy, and then failed to offer any logical reasoning behind her demand. if she had introduced the gown with even a semblance of rationality and used a more amicable tone, the patient would have not offered as much resistance, since they would not have felt that their autonomy was taken from them.

2025-06-29 04:37:55 UTC

Nurses tone could've been different when talking with him.

The nurse did not explain to the patient why he should wear a gown. Also, the nurse did not communicate well. Look how she is standing over the patient! Body and verbal language can make the patient to be defensive.

2025-06-29 04:38:09 UTC

Nurse's approach was wrong

2025-06-29 05:09:30 UTC

2025-06-29 05:19:29 UTC

The nurse was being bossy

what went wrong

2025-06-29 05:48:51 UTC

the nurse escalated the situation and threatened to get security she should have tried to explain why he needs to change into them and respected his decision.

2025-06-29 06:05:09 UTC

the nurse was pretty aggressive and demanding, which offput the patient and made him defensive

The nurse was rude/inconsiderate of pt feelings and the pt responded defensively. Entire interaction was not productive.

2025-06-29 06:58:16 UTC

2025-06-29 09:52:53 UTC

if you are negative they will be Aswell

2025-06-29 09:58:01 UTC

A more pleasant and friendly approach on the nurse's part would have been better. Saying hello, asking him if he would please put on a gown, explaining the rationale behind undressing.

The RN did not give any good reason for the patient to get into the gown, instead demanded that he get into the gown without acknowledging his autonomy or concern

2025-06-29 14:02:26 UTC

2025-06-29 14:16:52 UTC

The patient was approached aggressively and was probably caught off guard. he wasn't feeling well if he had brought himself to the hospital and being told what to do can make anyone feel defensive. The nurse was probably in a hurry and was thinking she had a million things to do. the nurse did nothing to help the situation. It ended with the patient refusing and the nurse accomplishing nothing. It all went wrong from beginning to end.

2025-06-29 16:11:12 UTC

You need to let the patients have some autonomy and also explain things well. If you explain why they need to be in a gown they may be more understanding

2025-06-29 16:48:59 UTC

patient wasnt given a good reason to change

the nurse tried to use security and the doctor as a higher power for patient to comply, but it didn't work. Nurse approached the patient in assertive way.

2025-06-29 22:07:02 UTC

She did not explain why and she did not give him any real options.

2025-06-29 23:02:37 UTC

RN should have explained the reason for the gown.

2025-06-30 00:21:14 UTC

the nurse was too inpatient from the beginning\

2025-06-30 00:41:12 UTC

Patient had no idea what was going on so was naturally defensive

2025-06-30 02:42:06 UTC

The nurse took the patients attitude personally

2025-06-30 04:00:57 UTC

nurse was very confrontational

2025-06-30 04:37:02 UTC

nurse was demanding

2025-06-30 05:02:11 UTC

nurse need to take a pause

2025-06-30 05:44:17 UTC

nurse was escalating instead of pausing and re-assessing

Nurse could have explained better the reasoning why the gown was necessary.

2025-06-30 08:36:43 UTC

how rude

2025-06-30 11:20:41 UTC

pretty much how I would've reacted

2025-06-30 11:47:32 UTC

Patient was probably thinking they're an adult and don't enjoying being told what to do. The nurse is probably thinking it's a simple task to do. She didn't do much to help, she instead threatened to bring in security rather than explain the purpose of putting on the gown.

2025-06-30 14:05:45 UTC

missing verbal cues.

Ya that nurse was having a bad day.

2025-06-30 14:17:50 UTC

2025-06-30 14:41:56 UTC

I became defensive just listening to the nurse. She needed to introduce herself let him know why it is important to change into a gown. Threatening to call security because he did not want to change into a gown is just going to escalate behaviors.

the tone of the voice of the RN needs to be changed, and she needs to give the pt an explanation.

2025-06-30 14:56:07 UTC

No options were given to the pt, nor was there any discussion.

2025-06-30 15:00:43 UTC

2025-06-30 15:18:16 UTC

The nurse was only aware of what she needed out of the situation without addressing the patient and what they may have needed

nurse didn't have to speak so harsh

2025-06-30 15:29:17 UTC

demanding, which set the patient off

2025-06-30 15:35:43 UTC

2025-06-30 16:40:52 UTC

The nurse was rude and took the wrong approach

As people we question why! So the nurse giving him that could have helped tremendously

2025-06-30 16:46:38 UTC

2025-06-30 16:56:56 UTC

The nurse was being rude, she could have explained to the patient her reasons why

2025-06-30 17:15:29 UTC

Nurse was aggressive to start with / pt wasn't informed properly

Rude nurse = uncooperative patient

2025-06-30 17:15:42 UTC

Who does this nurse think she is? Im only here because I have a pain in my toe. They can just take off my sock and look.

2025-06-30 17:42:09 UTC

Nurse wasn't deescalating his heightened sense of emotion. An aggressive approach only stirs up more defense and distrust within the patient.

2025-06-30 18:00:25 UTC

The nurse should have explained more and not been so defensive

2025-06-30 18:11:46 UTC

2025-06-30 18:45:20 UTC

they were both frustrated but the patient has the right to refuse

nurse did not explain what was happening, she was just being aggressive with the pt

2025-06-30 19:20:46 UTC

2025-06-30 19:41:11 UTC

I think the nurse escalated the situation.

I would assume that the patient thought the nurse was demanding, rude, and failed to properly explain. the RN seemed to think this patient was difficult. the results were not desirable, the patient did not put the gown on.

2025-06-30 19:55:03 UTC

everything went wrong

2025-06-30 21:16:42 UTC

patient was at best thinking she's rude, but probably thinking a littler harsher word than that. Nurse was probably thinking she's over that shift. Nurse did nothing to help the situation, her tone, body language, and response created immediate escalation. That was a fed up mom talking to a toddler.

The patient was not given enough information by the RN.

2025-06-30 21:56:08 UTC

2025-06-30 21:56:35 UTC

The nurse used a harsh tone, and the patient responded in the same attitude.

discussion

2025-06-30 22:11:15 UTC

Nurse was thinking he was noncompliant already. Patient was being disrespectful in different ways including on the phone, rude responses. Nurse should have explained why he needs to be placed in a gown instead of ordering him.

2025-06-30 22:21:32 UTC

2025-06-30 22:23:40 UTC

i think the nurse shouldn't have been so abrupt with the patient, it could be considered rude

2025-06-30 22:26:13 UTC

The patient does not know the reason for the gown

The RN was very demanding. She did not approach the patient with reverence.

2025-06-30 22:54:48 UTC

2025-06-30 23:29:07 UTC

Patient was being told to change with a forceful voice, patient immediately reacted to her.

2025-06-30 23:49:06 UTC

The patient was not given any control in the situation. The nurse also did not explain the reasoning behind needing to change into a gown to the patient and threatened the patient rather than explaining the situation.

Fight or Flight

2025-07-01 02:31:02 UTC

Threatening to call security may have led patient to be triggered into fight or flight response.

2025-07-01 04:02:41 UTC

They both went into the discussion butting heads and it quickly became a power struggle

2025-07-01 06:43:15 UTC

Patient was acting defensively and he appeared mistrusting.

2025-07-01 10:41:51 UTC

The nurse could have offered choices, slowed down and answered questions

Demanding tone

2025-07-01 13:38:58 UTC

The RN had a negative tone while demanding the patient do something. Approach and the way you talk to someone will set the foundation for how the patient will respond and feel.

2025-07-01 14:39:25 UTC

Use questions instead of demands

2025-07-01 14:58:15 UTC

Tone was a bit agressive and patient was told instead of asked to do something.

2025-07-01 15:14:12 UTC

Trainwreck situation.

Nurse was rude

2025-07-01 15:56:45 UTC

the nurses approach was very disrespectful and she should have spoke to the patient in a different manner and answered his questions

2025-07-01 15:58:13 UTC

Nurse did not explain the reasoning for having patient change into gown

2025-07-01 16:15:09 UTC

disinterested

2025-07-01 16:15:31 UTC

2025-07-01 16:36:43 UTC

felt very threatening

Just wanting to get the task done

2025-07-01 16:52:27 UTC

2025-07-01 16:57:26 UTC

The situation ended with both parties agitated.

2025-07-01 17:20:28 UTC

the nurse was not polite all she wanted to do was get in there and do what she had to do and get out she didn't care what the patient had to say or what the patient wanted

poor communication

2025-07-01 17:22:28 UTC

2025-07-01 18:02:10 UTC

The nurse was likely busy and did not have time to handle pushback on a simple task, however, it would have a better outcome if she were to use less tone and explain that the gown is necessary to complete tests and assessments so he can get answers and treatment or go home.

We need to make sure the patient feels heard even though we have something to accomplish in the moment

2025-07-01 18:12:16 UTC

2025-07-01 18:20:31 UTC

The nurse was antagonistic by telling the patient he had to gown up

The nurse was too aggressive with her demands

2025-07-01 19:52:34 UTC

2025-07-01 19:58:49 UTC

The nurse should have explained , not just expected. And not used a rude tone of voice.

No explanation

2025-07-01 20:16:34 UTC

The nurse probably just didn't want to deal with the push back, but her tone set the mood immediately. She should of spoke kindly and explained the reason behind it.

2025-07-01 20:36:09 UTC

2025-07-01 20:39:02 UTC

The nurse was telling the patient what to do and not asking. Did not end well and things got escalated.

The nurse should have asked the patient more politely and respected their privacy. The nurse was bossy and rude making the patient less compliant.

2025-07-01 21:06:58 UTC

2025-07-01 21:38:57 UTC

Negative approach to the situation leads to a negative response from the patient. Less demanding and more explaining.

2025-07-01 21:47:04 UTC

The nurse opened the conversation in the wrong tone... the patient matched her energy and was upset/angry.

2025-07-01 22:02:34 UTC

The nurse was bossy, and patient didn't seem like he wanted to be there.

Nurse seemed bossy and uncaring.

2025-07-01 22:19:31 UTC

2025-07-01 22:52:21 UTC

The patient did not seem to think he had a serious issue going on (perhaps someone nagged him to go to the doctor?) The nurse was bossy, perhaps in a hurry. She immediately threatened to call security for a trivial matter.

2025-07-02 01:18:29 UTC

The patient seemed nervous. Giving him more information about why he needed to change may have made him more at ease.

this lady is bossing me around

2025-07-02 13:27:28 UTC

The nurse did not explain anything to the patient or use empathy in her care

2025-07-02 14:41:32 UTC

2025-07-02 15:17:59 UTC

The staff's communication style emphasizes autonomy, contributing to patient resistance and uncooperative behavior.

She took an immediate tone and stance of "do what I say." She then escalated quickly be threatening him with security.

2025-07-02 16:01:41 UTC

Let's treat patients respectfully. There is no room for bully tactics in patient care.

2025-07-02 16:08:34 UTC

Patient probably thinking how rude? The nurse likely brought her stress of her schedule into the room and in her responses. Caused escalation of the patient's reply.

2025-07-02 16:11:30 UTC

Pt increased resistance with increased threat of the nurse creating a power struggle.

What went wrong?

2025-07-02 17:30:40 UTC

The nurse set the tone by engaging in the negative interaction. She could have explained why it's important to change instead of matching his energy and demanding his change or she'd get security. She escalated instead of attempting to deescalate.

Grumpy

2025-07-02 18:05:21 UTC

Patient thinks it's unnecessary

2025-07-02 18:28:54 UTC

negative, demanding approach

2025-07-02 19:13:28 UTC

Nurse seemed to be in a hurry and was abrupt in her communication. The patient may have been resistant to instruction but the tone of the nurse's communication "set the table".

The nurse could have asked him to change vs making it a demand

2025-07-02 19:56:13 UTC

2025-07-02 20:44:42 UTC

not friendly on either side

2025-07-02 20:55:45 UTC

Patient was resistant to commands, wanted to know why.

Nurse was in a rush, inpatient, demanding and disrespectful.

Let the patient know the plan and order of events, give them options, don't threaten or command.

2025-07-02 21:16:08 UTC

2025-07-02 21:46:47 UTC

The patient is not coperating and the nurse is mad.

2025-07-02 21:59:20 UTC

The nurse should have taken a step back to approach in a calmer way.

2025-07-02 23:12:04 UTC

ask and explain rather than make demands

The nurse was rude and did not ask and just demanded.

2025-07-03 02:54:19 UTC

2025-07-03 04:35:17 UTC

nurse was to demanding

overall poor communication, nurse was cold, aggressive and demanding.

2025-07-03 07:12:48 UTC

Wow....

2025-07-03 08:01:40 UTC

I don't think the nurse did anything to de-escalate the situation. She ended up making everything worse by just being bossy and with her choice of words.

Aggressive

2025-07-03 08:29:48 UTC

The nurse could have been a lot nicer and didnt have to use threatening language.

Communicate why it's importandt to be in a gown; so the Dr can examine the patient. instead, a power struggle occurred.

2025-07-03 13:07:39 UTC

patient

2025-07-03 13:51:50 UTC

He seemed to think this was a waste of time.

The nurse's tone of voice was of an authority not a caregiver. She did not provide an explanation nor did she say I will step out of room to give you privacy

2025-07-03 15:22:32 UTC

2025-07-03 15:30:46 UTC

The patient doesn't respond will with the demand of the nurse. The nurse was a little aggressive in making him put on a gown. He reacted to her response. Patient refused to put the gown on. She was too aggressive with what she wanted.

The nurse was aggressive and bossy

2025-07-03 15:53:25 UTC

The nurse was confrontational, and it led to a defensive patient

2025-07-03 18:22:31 UTC

The patient might have been thinking, why do I need to put on the gown or feel uncomfortable in doing so.

2025-07-03 19:14:30 UTC

2025-07-03 20:12:12 UTC

The nurse was quite aggressive in her approach which then led to patient responding aggressively. Even though he was disinterested in cooperating in the first place, the nurse should have responded calmly with actual reasoning.

The Pt seemed to be preoccupied by something else. The nurse wanted to get him in a gown but was not using the best approach to get buy in for the Pt. The Pt was not helpful in giving the Pt a sense of choice, rather a hard "if you don't do it then.." and it resulted in things not going well. Two people were reacting to negative approaches.

2025-07-03 20:52:31 UTC

both were frustrated

2025-07-03 21:15:22 UTC

2025-07-03 21:32:31 UTC

very aggressive

The nurse didn't do anything to help the situation.

2025-07-03 21:54:39 UTC

2025-07-04 01:13:54 UTC

The nurse is not explaining herself very well, the pt is uncooperative

2025-07-04 01:35:42 UTC

xgnfgx

2025-07-04 01:36:16 UTC

ghnjdjyjd

2025-07-04 03:49:44 UTC

The RN didn't explain and just demanded, but in the end led to the patient not wanting to put the gown on. She should have changed her approach about wearing the gown.

The pt had no control over anything.

2025-07-04 05:56:31 UTC

2025-07-04 08:07:39 UTC

I feel this interaction was the nurses wrong doing and the patient responded appropriately to her. The nurse forgot to check herself and her tone before she went into the patient room

2025-07-04 08:23:16 UTC

nurse was not nice

This was an issue from the start

2025-07-04 15:13:54 UTC

Patient was engrossed in his phone when she approached and did not give him time to transition to participating in his cares.
She came in with a stern tone and gave directions
She did not answer the patient's question, or empathize with the fact that he didn't want to change into the gown.
She became aggressive
Resistance breeds resistance.

The RN was not thinking she came in way to strong and patient responded.

2025-07-04 15:16:51 UTC

The nurse set a negative tone for the interaction leading to no desire for compromise from the patient

2025-07-04 15:27:08 UTC

poor attitude

2025-07-04 15:35:52 UTC

She instantly went to an aggressive tone. perhaps explaining why its necessary for him to remove his clothes and put a pt gown on would have helped compliance

saying " because I am your nurse, and I asked you too" sounds just like "because I am your mom and I said so" as a kid this saying makes you mad, so saying this to an adult will never go over well. Patients have autonomy and this needs to be respected.

2025-07-04 16:47:02 UTC

kindness gets kindness

2025-07-04 18:14:23 UTC

better approach

2025-07-04 21:06:15 UTC

2025-07-04 21:37:16 UTC

The nurse definitely didn't set the right tone. There was no psychological safety established, and you can tell that the patient is not someone who likes to be controlled, so the nurse came off bossy. At the same time, the patient wasn't putting in the effort to comply with receiving care. The nurse falsely jumped to the conclusion that security intervention may be needed even though the patient really does not pose any sort of threat, so it would be a wasteful use of resource.

2025-07-04 23:50:24 UTC

way to rude to a patient

It's all in the presentation. Don't tell the pt what to do w/out explaining why they need to do something.

2025-07-05 00:33:15 UTC

2025-07-05 05:37:48 UTC

The opportunity to initially connect and acknowledge that the patient is here for something and even a slowing down, asking if he could be interrupted or even what the process and steps that were going to be involved would have been helpful to set the stage.

2025-07-05 18:57:22 UTC

RN did not offer choices allowing for some sense of control for the pt.

2025-07-05 19:07:22 UTC

The nurse was treating the patient like a task and not a person

the nurse was rude and demanding and the patient was non-cooperative

2025-07-05 23:55:19 UTC

Poor approach from the nurse, and the pt responded in kind

2025-07-06 02:43:40 UTC

ICARE

2025-07-06 05:57:33 UTC

The nurse could have used ICARE which may have helped the situation.

2025-07-06 06:04:49 UTC

The nurse immediately was being demanding and threatening at the first moment the patient became irritated

2025-07-06 07:35:55 UTC

The patient does not understand why he needs to wear a gown. The nurse did not explain why it is important.

2025-07-06 10:23:38 UTC

she was very aggressive

the patient though the nurse was rude and pushy

2025-07-06 13:37:12 UTC

Patient felt as though he had no options or control over his care.

2025-07-06 14:50:52 UTC

anonymous

2025-07-06 15:05:59 UTC

I had a nurse like here recently and I was waiting for her to come back so I could explain about her lack of professionalism--and ask to speak to her supervisor.

2025-07-06 21:32:49 UTC

Her tone was patronizing.

The nurse was immediately frustrated and rude with the patient.

2025-07-07 14:12:32 UTC

While the patient's tone wasn't the softest, it seems that he was asking for clarification and the RN responded dismissively and did not provide an explanation for the gown.

2025-07-07 14:36:20 UTC

Explaining why the patient needed to change into a gown may have made him more understanding and likely to do so

2025-07-07 15:43:26 UTC

Aggressive staff member from the start.

2025-07-07 15:56:08 UTC

2025-07-07 17:50:37 UTC

The Nurse seemed to be taking out her work frustration out on a patient She needed to take a step back.

the nurse did not explain properly why the patient needed to get into a gown.

2025-07-07 20:03:53 UTC

The patient did not receive a reason for the gown change.

2025-07-07 20:30:40 UTC

nurse tried to "help" situation by threatening patient.

2025-07-07 22:28:28 UTC

2025-07-08 00:24:36 UTC

Too aggressive with communication

The nurse probably had a long day or something bothering her in her personal life.

2025-07-08 02:03:16 UTC

Everyone was wrong here

2025-07-08 02:53:06 UTC

The patient should have gotten off the phone and why are they here if they aren't wanting to get into a gown to be treated?

The nurse was rude and should have entered the room with patience and understanding. She should have had a less abrasive tone and asked if he would mind changing to gown instead of demanding it.

The nurse didn't try to deescalate the situation, she was just making demands of the patient

2025-07-08 06:22:51 UTC

Nurse was rude

2025-07-08 07:13:02 UTC

he wasnt even mad

2025-07-08 07:38:56 UTC

the patient wasn't even mad, he just wanted a "why" nurse was immediately rude. maybe she was going through a bad day but she shouldn't bring that to her other patients

2025-07-08 08:31:36 UTC

Never argue with the patient

disrespectfull

2025-07-08 09:22:54 UTC

2025-07-08 13:44:00 UTC

Approach with a professional attitude

2025-07-08 14:29:26 UTC

rude patient

aggressive approach almost always makes for an aggressive reaction

2025-07-08 15:58:15 UTC

too demanding on the nurses part!

2025-07-08 16:14:13 UTC

2025-07-08 16:36:23 UTC

Tone

What went wrong? Nothing went right, so everything was wrong

2025-07-08 18:22:12 UTC

better communication

2025-07-08 18:31:32 UTC

Being able to clearly communicate the plan

2025-07-08 18:32:24 UTC

2025-07-08 19:41:19 UTC

This did not end well for either the nurse or the patient, could have had a different outcome if the nurse was nice in the first place.

So much happening

2025-07-08 20:00:21 UTC

The patient was focused on his phone. The nurse had an attitude toward the patient. The nurse didn't have a solution she escalated the situation and didn't answer his questions in a professional manner.

2025-07-08 20:19:00 UTC

The nurse was very bossy and rude she wasnt showing any respect or kindness

Patient's thinking

2025-07-08 20:30:52 UTC

The patient may have been thinking, "I don't want to put on the gown because I am uncomfortable with the idea of undressing in front of the nurse."

approach

2025-07-08 21:03:39 UTC

The nurse needs to work on her bedside manners and her tone of voice and how she talks to people.

2025-07-08 21:05:04 UTC

The patient was likely feeling a loss of autonomy and getting frustrated with the lack of explanation while the nurse was escalating the situation.

2025-07-08 22:54:13 UTC

Poor approach and RN seemed in a hurry, pt was disinterested

Pt is too involved in his phone/disinterested in being there, nurse was already at the end of her rope.

2025-07-08 23:41:48 UTC

pt reacted to nurses approach

2025-07-09 00:12:21 UTC

Jumped right to security!

2025-07-09 12:22:50 UTC

The nurse did not effectively communicate.

2025-07-09 17:09:06 UTC

The nurse demanded compliance. This escalated the interaction.

RN was very direct and didn't give the pt any options

2025-07-10 02:08:32 UTC

Nurse was aggressive, didn't give a why or give the patient an option to choose.

2025-07-10 02:42:07 UTC

The nurse was rude and overbearing and did not treat the patient with respect. In turn the patient became defensive.

2025-07-10 06:25:50 UTC

2025-07-10 08:06:44 UTC

nurse had an attitude and wasn't thinking about the patient's needs/fears. The patient could have been embarrassed or nervous to change into a gown (they are very exposing).

2025-07-10 10:12:01 UTC

The nurse was in a hurry and appeared extremely annoyed.

2025-07-10 15:32:02 UTC

Definitely Not the correct way to go about the situation.

Rude and uncaring

2025-07-10 16:15:37 UTC

Complete fail

The pt is being told what to do with no explanation, the nurse is rude and impatient, she did nothing to try and help the situation, it ended badly with the pt feeling annoyed and insulted

2025-07-10 17:41:59 UTC

Both are being impolite

2025-07-10 17:42:31 UTC

But the patient shouldn't be expected to be professional.

The nurse did not give the patient any choose.

2025-07-10 18:31:09 UTC

2025-07-10 19:09:46 UTC

She came in like a bull in a China shop

Nurse is in a hurry, she probably has a lot of patients that present much more ill, especially with the patient on his cell phone.

2025-07-10 19:30:40 UTC

She wants to hurry and get this task done, and the patient isn't having it. While we can't make the patient undress, explaining why could help

2025-07-10 21:00:43 UTC

The RN was rude

She's abrupt and rude. She set the tone and I would've felt like the man does

2025-07-10 21:07:41 UTC

The RN was rude an condescending

2025-07-10 21:59:44 UTC

Yikes bad all around

2025-07-10 22:07:56 UTC

The nurse was too demanding

2025-07-10 22:30:11 UTC

Negative and unfavorable tone of voice.

2025-07-10 22:30:52 UTC

The nurse was snappy and told him what to do.

2025-07-10 22:41:41 UTC

Discussion

2025-07-11 12:55:39 UTC

The nurse could have been more polite then maybe the patient would have been listening.

The nurse was bossy and gave ultimatums. thats not going to go over well. Patient is not going to be compliant .

2025-07-11 15:53:29 UTC

The nurse was very rude

2025-07-11 17:55:47 UTC

2025-07-11 20:18:32 UTC

This is what happens

negative approach yields negative response.

2025-07-11 22:00:37 UTC

2025-07-11 22:16:26 UTC

she was already aggressive right off the bat. no empathy, no understanding and no compassion. which then in turn made her fail at giving good care and getting the patient to change.

2025-07-11 22:56:03 UTC

Patient:" I don't need to get into a gown for this"

RN: "Just let me do my job"

2025-07-12 14:52:00 UTC

never demand anything

2025-07-12 20:36:48 UTC

Very unprofessional and rude.

She was demanding and forceful with no reasoning as to why

2025-07-13 03:52:04 UTC

The patient needed choices

2025-07-13 17:28:10 UTC

2025-07-13 19:38:53 UTC

the nurse could have been nicer and explained better and that may have helped him understand a lot better

2025-07-13 23:13:51 UTC

I think the nurse was thinking I have a lot of work to get done and my floor is always short staffed I don't have the bandwidth to explain everything right now. However sometimes being frustrated clouds our judgement that reacting may cause more time to be needed because now the patient is upset also.

call security over a gown?

2025-07-14 00:25:38 UTC

Nurse and the patient both could have handled the situation more professionally.

2025-07-14 00:32:58 UTC

2025-07-14 02:20:50 UTC

The nurse was very agressive

The nurse didn't give him two options so the patient responded back what he thought.

2025-07-14 03:59:18 UTC

The patient did not know why. The nurse wanted task to be completed. The nurse provided an escalation phrase that did not help situation. The patient did not wear the gown. The task was not completed due to ineffective communication.

2025-07-14 14:08:52 UTC

nurse was not respectful

2025-07-14 15:37:52 UTC

the nurse made demands instead of building report with the patient

2025-07-14 16:06:01 UTC

wow, RN displayed total lack of professionalism

2025-07-14 17:10:22 UTC

Patients don't want to be in the hospital - they need to be given some options or rationales so they can make their own decisions.

2025-07-14 18:16:18 UTC

If we speak to our patients with love and concern, then they are more likely to follow directions, especially if we help explain the reasons for why we need them to do what we ask.

2025-07-14 18:31:25 UTC

Immediately put the patient on the defensive by being insistent and not explaining why.

2025-07-14 20:56:29 UTC

No explanation as to what was going to be done. Set the wrong tone.

2025-07-14 23:15:41 UTC

2025-07-15 01:37:45 UTC

In this scenario, the nurse was being demanding and treated the patient like a child. The nurse should have asked the patient to change into the gown.

2025-07-15 03:06:28 UTC

We can't choose our patients' reactions but we can present things in a caring and nonconfrontational way. This nurse needs to work on her verbal and nonverbal communication skills.

2025-07-15 10:15:13 UTC

The patient wasn't happy with being told what to do with their own body and probably felt violated. The nurse was probably thinking she wanted to get the change done and overweigh without being sympathetic. It did not end well because she didn't give him respect to his bodily autonomy.

The RN could have offered to have male RN help instead

2025-07-15 14:45:37 UTC

2025-07-15 16:36:48 UTC

The patient is shown as an older male and may feel uncomfortable or angry that a young female is asking him to do something or telling him what to do.

Nurse needs to change tone

2025-07-15 17:27:11 UTC

The nurse was super rude and short!

2025-07-15 17:36:52 UTC

Tone

2025-07-15 19:24:11 UTC

She appeared very impatient and not considerate of his situation or time

2025-07-15 19:29:43 UTC

Aggression breeds aggression.

2025-07-15 19:35:57 UTC

the nurse did not introduce a choice, rather she used "I said so" which made the patient to continue to argue

Aggressive approach leads to defensive reactions

2025-07-15 21:07:04 UTC

2025-07-15 21:09:46 UTC

The tech did not give the patient an option to change into a gown

The patient probably though that his voice was being taken away and he was only going to be told what to do and not listened to when the nurse didn't answer his first question.

2025-07-15 21:10:27 UTC

The nurse was quite demanding

2025-07-15 21:40:25 UTC

confrontational on both

2025-07-15 23:56:39 UTC

Options

2025-07-16 01:41:49 UTC

2025-07-16 04:36:39 UTC

Nurse had a threatening behavior

Nurse did not treat patient with respect or dignity.

2025-07-16 14:53:03 UTC

Better patient care was needed

2025-07-16 15:56:29 UTC

2025-07-16 16:18:41 UTC

The patient probably thought the nurse was demanding and rude and the nurse may have thought the patient was inconsiderate being on his phone. The nurse did nothing to help the situation, she was threatening security if the patient wouldn't put the gown on. Poor ending, patient never got into the gown and was not cooperative. The approach was wrong on the nurse's part, horrific communication skills.

2025-07-16 17:56:42 UTC

I agree, her tone and body language were atrocious.

2025-07-16 20:19:41 UTC

The nurse is tone and demanding way instead of asking the patient

The nurse was demanding and the patient was irritable and uncooperative.

2025-07-16 21:08:14 UTC

the nurse probably had a bad day or night at home or work, in turn she is bossy, rude, and not even letting the patient know why the gown was needed etc... the patient also seemed to not want to participate in even being at the hospital. all she had to do was change her tone and wording and I'm sure he would have responded better. usually, people don't like to be spoken to in this way let alone a care provider.

2025-07-17 04:47:03 UTC

Lack of explanation

2025-07-17 10:00:33 UTC

It ended in the patient refusing to participate.

2025-07-17 10:56:02 UTC

told what to do

2025-07-17 13:42:32 UTC

lack of explantion

2025-07-17 13:44:29 UTC

Tone of voice makes a big difference.

2025-07-17 15:59:44 UTC

2025-07-17 17:21:19 UTC

The patient was definitely thinking that she was being rude and did not want to follow her directions with the level of disrespect shown

The nurse should have engaged with a more polite demeanor

2025-07-17 19:55:03 UTC

2025-07-17 20:08:26 UTC

Unfortunately, this experience for our patients may be more normal than we would like to think.

2025-07-17 20:36:15 UTC

i think the nurse was abrasive and didn't offer any explanation as to why the patient needed to change

patient was probably wondering why he was being asked and the rn was probably already worn out and frustrated and didnt use the nicest tone or best communication she technically gave options just unhelpful ones of listen or im calling security. it ended in the paitent refusing because the nurse made it into a power struggle instead of coming at it from a more empathetic point of view

2025-07-17 21:35:43 UTC

2025-07-17 22:08:53 UTC

If the nurse changed her approach the patient may not have gotten so upset.

Negative approach and negative response

2025-07-17 23:23:55 UTC

2025-07-18 04:22:52 UTC

both the pt and the nurse they were in a bad mood

What went wrong?

2025-07-18 17:28:42 UTC

Poor initial interaction with poor explanation of request

great example

2025-07-18 18:41:32 UTC

the nurse didn't introduce herself, and she gave an all-or-nothing approach: do this or else I'll escalate it to invovle security

Both said some not-so-nice things. The patient did not want to cooperate, and the nurse did not provide an explanation for why the patient needed the gown.

2025-07-19 02:32:26 UTC

It's difficult to know exactly what could be going through someone's mind. For the patient, it could be his third admit and he is just over it. For the nurse, it could be the end of a very exhausting shift. Both parties could have handled themselves more appropriately.

2025-07-19 15:03:12 UTC

Demanding

2025-07-19 16:12:20 UTC

2025-07-19 19:51:03 UTC

Nurse did not explain how changing into the gown can help the patient speed the process along.

her tone is very aggressive

2025-07-20 02:20:40 UTC

2025-07-20 06:30:04 UTC

Approach is important.

2025-07-20 07:14:40 UTC

nurse tone was not best for situation and pts body language

Very abrupt, did not give reasonable justification

2025-07-20 07:18:40 UTC

the RN was rude when trying to reason with patient

2025-07-21 00:36:13 UTC

Both had negative attitudes so being more professional and calm could help

2025-07-21 01:52:22 UTC

2025-07-21 16:03:33 UTC

nurse didn't give the best reason, it allowed the patient to resist

wrong approach

2025-07-21 16:04:00 UTC

This is a hospital not a prison. treat patients with respect.

RN had poor communication and did not explain the why behind what they were asking.

2025-07-21 16:19:21 UTC

you approach the patient in a bad way then you get a negative response.

2025-07-21 18:58:31 UTC

The nurse just jumped and didn't bother setting up a good rapport with the patient. Felt like she had more important things to do than take care of the patient

2025-07-21 22:37:58 UTC

Rn came on too strong and demanding with no explanation

2025-07-21 22:59:53 UTC

there did not appear to be much effort on behalf of the provider to make the pt comfortable even though there were plenty of opportunities to correct the situation

I think the nurse sounded bossy and a bit rude. She did not consider the patient's input or explain to the patient why he needs to put on the gown.

2025-07-22 01:35:35 UTC

The nurse walked in and immediately told the patient what to do instead of warming up to what she wanted the patient to do. She also did not explain the "why" of putting on the gown. When the patient said no, the nurse immediately brought up calling security to assert dominance over the patient.

2025-07-22 09:23:43 UTC

2025-07-22 13:52:18 UTC

The nurse was very short and rude at the start of the visit. She told the patient what he needed to do. She should have asked him and could have been way nicer.

2025-07-22 14:20:49 UTC

bad approach on the nurses part.

2025-07-22 17:15:39 UTC

2025-07-22 19:57:22 UTC

She could have gone about it differently. She could have asked him not just told him.

The patient needs respect and privacy.

2025-07-22 20:12:25 UTC

The nurse has to be more polite when talking to the patient and give him privacy.

Ordering around instead of asking. Sometimes we need to explain the why

2025-07-22 22:00:34 UTC

it was obvious from the beginning of the interaction the patient was distracted and the nurse didn't seem to pick up on the cues the patient was sending

2025-07-23 14:09:30 UTC

Patient already stressed and RN came at him and just annoyed him even more.

2025-07-23 20:55:33 UTC

The nurse was very confrontational and escalated the situation

2025-07-23 20:59:34 UTC

2025-07-23 21:50:47 UTC

She should've asked him in a more friendly manner, offered privacy, and explained the justification behind the need to change into a gown.

The nurse responded poorly

2025-07-23 23:59:11 UTC

2025-07-24 00:03:13 UTC

demanding and talked down to the patient

What went wrong?

2025-07-24 00:05:23 UTC

The nurse starting the conversation very aggressively. She could have explain herself and asked the patient calmly and nicely.

2025-07-24 12:45:04 UTC

Give a more detailed explanation.

Patient may have been embarrassed to change in front of another person. Patient felt defensive when a demand, not an ask, was made to change into the gown.

2025-07-24 15:20:02 UTC

The nurse seemed irritated in her response

2025-07-24 15:38:28 UTC

2025-07-24 15:48:34 UTC

Bossy and unprofessional nurse lead to incompliance.

There was no reason presented for why he needed to be in the gown, such as EKG, chest xray, etc.

2025-07-24 17:25:03 UTC

2025-07-24 20:04:31 UTC

NURSE WAS DEMANDING AND PATEINT WAS DEFENSIVE

2025-07-24 21:24:15 UTC

2025-07-25 14:00:21 UTC

rn was not nice.

If I were the patient, I would be immediately defensive because of the way she was demanding I put on a gown without giving me a reason or telling me why she was there.

2025-07-25 19:53:12 UTC

2025-07-25 21:24:45 UTC

The nurse was very aggressive in her tone and seemed to be lacking bedside manners.

2025-07-25 22:39:55 UTC

agreed

The nurse was being aggressive, not patient, and did not provide reasons for asking

2025-07-25 22:41:57 UTC

Not giving the patient an option

2025-07-26 15:44:31 UTC

negative response=negative response

2025-07-26 19:12:37 UTC

She definitely when in strong with you need to do or I'll call security.

2025-07-27 04:24:01 UTC

The nurse was being bossy

rude

2025-07-27 17:23:16 UTC

gwseg

2025-07-27 18:10:23 UTC

RN is not Listening

2025-07-27 18:11:58 UTC

Nurse needs to respect patient's wishes.

2025-07-27 21:28:41 UTC

The nurse didn't explain why the action was necessary, and when patient didn't comply, she issued an ultimatum. The nurse could have started by asking and explaining, or by trying to give options, in order to get the desired behavior from the patient.

there is no patience from the RN. I wouldnt want to change either when being spoken to that way.

2025-07-27 22:45:31 UTC

2025-07-28 13:27:35 UTC

The patient needed to know why he needed to change, plus the nurse's tone was rude

2025-07-28 17:22:01 UTC

The nurse should have given the patient answers instead of demands when he was asking questions.

2025-07-28 18:34:52 UTC

There was no mutual respect

2025-07-28 18:48:48 UTC

No reason to demand patient to change into gown, the nurse just escalated the situation.

2025-07-28 21:00:10 UTC

approach the patient with a positive attitude and patience

I think the nurse was concerned about personal safety and saw the patient as a threat.

2025-07-28 22:29:31 UTC

What went wrong? It all went wrong.

2025-07-29 10:34:40 UTC

You never, ever talk to a patient like that. You need to treat people like, you would want to be treated.

I don't want to be here and this is going to take longer than I anticipated

2025-07-29 15:32:19 UTC

bad attitude

2025-07-29 16:16:51 UTC

How did it end?

2025-07-29 17:26:42 UTC

Ended with both the Pt, and the nurse being escalated. Instead of what could have been an easy conversation on we need you in a gown to make certain cares easier. It was escalated when the nurse gave two aggressive choices.

what went wrong

2025-07-29 19:51:27 UTC

The nurse should have spoken to him a lot nicer to him and explained why he needed to change into the gown, so he had a better understanding instead she was very demanding.

The nurse is a talented escalator.

2025-07-29 20:30:42 UTC

2025-07-29 21:02:58 UTC

The nurse was thinking, I have four other patients I need to tend to and I need this patient to get changed into this gown right away. I don't have time to wait. So instead of explaining to the patient why it was necessary for him to change into a gown she just told him that he had to do it and do it now. The patient was resentful of her attitude and outright refused to change into the gown.

The nurse should have been more respectful

2025-07-30 18:10:32 UTC

2025-07-30 18:20:12 UTC

The nurse told the pt what to do instead of asking, causing a negative response. Poor communication.

Start bad=end bad

2025-07-30 18:46:53 UTC

Start bad=End bad

The RN did not get the patient to change into the gown because she was rude when approaching him about it. If she has asked and explained the patient would have responded differently.

2025-07-30 19:25:25 UTC

Start Bad+End Bad

2025-07-30 22:42:22 UTC

While the nurse could've came off as aggressive, why come to the ER if you don't want help?

2025-07-30 23:09:20 UTC

2025-07-30 23:38:36 UTC

the nurse was rude and bossy. No one wants to be treated like that.

2025-07-31 11:22:17 UTC

abrupt

Escalation

2025-07-31 13:41:59 UTC

The patient got his attitude from the nurse who responded with attitude back and it escalated from there.

Nurse seemed annoyed

2025-07-31 15:02:50 UTC

2025-07-31 16:54:42 UTC

Nurse was using an authoritative tone and made pt mad

Her tone was super rude

2025-07-31 18:23:11 UTC

The nurse started off with demands

2025-07-31 18:46:12 UTC

The nurse should have asked the patient instead of trying to force them to do something

2025-07-31 19:02:29 UTC

The nurse was just rude. Her tone gave off a bad attitude as well as not explaining as to why pt should change his gown.

2025-07-31 23:00:57 UTC

The nurse was very rude and demanding; always give the patient choices and respect.

2025-08-01 00:51:36 UTC

2025-08-01 06:16:11 UTC

She demanded he changed. Didn't say who she was.

2025-08-01 16:18:42 UTC

don't tell the patient you're going to force them into anything

2025-08-01 17:14:40 UTC

What went wrong

2025-08-01 18:04:15 UTC

From the get go, the nurse was completely rude. Of course, the patient isn't going to respond well when he is dealing with a behavior that is completely unprofessional and rude. Anyone's immediate response would be to put up their defense. Also, the patient had questions as to why he had to change into the gown. The nurse should have been much more informative and answered his questions instead of treating him like a child and demanding he listen to her because "she said so".

I think the patient was feeling vulnerable and a loss of control

2025-08-01 18:32:53 UTC

the RN did not give the patient choices correctly

2025-08-01 20:40:29 UTC

Too many things

2025-08-01 22:57:44 UTC

Patient was already stressed, nurse could have changed her tone, ask instead of telling, don't threaten to get security, etc.

2025-08-02 06:06:30 UTC

there was no explanation to why, I wouldn't change either

2025-08-02 09:31:47 UTC

the caregiver's tone was harsh.

The RN was aggressive with her tone and body language.

2025-08-03 13:41:35 UTC

the nurse did not explain why he should get into the gown

2025-08-03 15:08:32 UTC

Her tone of voice was rude and sounded like she didn't want to be there. She didn't explain why he needed to put on a gown.

2025-08-03 21:15:24 UTC

2025-08-04 02:17:03 UTC

the nurse did not even bother to explain why that was needed or answer his question. It is not right to demand something from your patient without even offering them an explanation.

2025-08-04 03:07:12 UTC

The nurse needs to understand that the patient does not know routine like we do. It is crucial that nurses explain things in a way that our patients can understand.

2025-08-04 03:33:10 UTC

The nurse seemed to be annoyed when caring for this patient and immediately tried to force him into the gown, talking over him, and threatened to call security. She should have tried to figure out why he didn't want to change into the gown and listened to the patient.

2025-08-04 20:55:45 UTC

Bossy, didn't even greet the patient.

The nurse could have said something like, " In order for us to do the exam, we will need you to be in this gown. Are you okay with this? "

2025-08-04 20:59:12 UTC

How did this end?

2025-08-04 21:08:47 UTC

It ended in the parking lot

definite power struggle. lots ofbossy head bobbing and posturing from the nurse made the pt defensive and noncompliant

2025-08-05 00:29:35 UTC

It was a bad approach, and the patient responded negatively

2025-08-05 18:18:30 UTC

2025-08-05 18:39:36 UTC

The patient may have been thinking the nurse was rude and was just asking why he needed the gown. Maybe his care didnt require a gown. The nurse immediately got defensive and threatened to call security. Both could have been more respectful.

2025-08-06 00:19:11 UTC

The situation represents a lack of respect for the patient. The nurse demanded that the patient gets into a gown without asking him kindly and respectfully first. Rather than trying to deescalate situation she threatened to call security. YIKES! Start by introducing herself and explaining (not demanding) the patient to do something.

2025-08-06 16:23:10 UTC

Not a good tone

2025-08-06 16:37:37 UTC

Agreed. Tone was forceful.

2025-08-06 16:43:19 UTC

Nurse was thinking- just doing my job, do this so I can keep going.

2025-08-06 17:55:12 UTC

Pt didn't want to be there

2025-08-06 19:26:22 UTC

2025-08-06 22:47:31 UTC

This scenario shows that our attitude and tone make a big difference in how our patients respond. Even if our patient is irritable before interacting with us it is important that we stay professional and calm.

Tone is important

2025-08-07 05:35:47 UTC

2025-08-07 13:54:46 UTC

The nurse should not have threatened the patient with call security

Attitude and tone go a long way when communicating with patient and healthcare worker.

2025-08-07 15:46:23 UTC

Her approach was agressive

2025-08-07 16:09:51 UTC

2025-08-08 04:58:47 UTC

blah bah blah this is dumb

2025-08-08 09:00:22 UTC

She came off very aggressive and demanding.

The RN was demanding and didn't explain clearly why the patient needed to change into a gown

2025-08-08 11:01:04 UTC

The patient may have been reactive to her approach, and unsure as to why he needed to be in the gown. It appears the nurse may have been thinking "the sooner you get into this gown the sooner we can get through your care." The nurse did nothing to try to help the situation. It ended with the patient resisting the needs for his care. The nurse was combative, unempathetic, and lacked compassion for the persons autonomy.

2025-08-08 18:46:12 UTC

Younger individual with control issues

2025-08-08 20:55:50 UTC

she was bossy and rude.

2025-08-09 09:36:03 UTC

It didn't end well for multiple reasons.

2025-08-09 17:36:57 UTC

2025-08-09 18:20:46 UTC

Somebody has unresolved personal issues so bad that they cant even communicate effectively. Time to tap out and maybe take a mental health day.

Nurse was not giving pt enough time to think about the situation

2025-08-09 22:28:33 UTC

RN was being rude she couldve been more nicer

2025-08-10 05:13:29 UTC

Rude nurse

2025-08-10 16:05:11 UTC

Started out demanding which made the patient aggressive and unwilling to cooperate. The nurse should have asked if he would be willing to change into the gown and for the following purposes.

2025-08-11 06:24:20 UTC

The nurse needed to chang ethe way she asked, I'm sure the patient felt cornered

The nurse could have approached the patient in a different manner.

2025-08-11 15:40:35 UTC

2025-08-11 16:20:21 UTC

very rude

2025-08-11 17:08:14 UTC

Maybe this pt did not even know he was being admitted or did not want to be admitted and the nurse approached the pt all wrong and developed very bad repoire. Pt responded defensively and the nurse responded with threats...she needs to go home.

RN should ask if the patient wanted to do the action

2025-08-11 17:38:32 UTC

Anonymous

2025-08-11 19:33:47 UTC

Can't force patient to do anything but asking is different than telling

2025-08-11 20:10:04 UTC

Demanding instead of explaining the reason behind why the patient needed to be in a gown was the first issue along with her tone. Second issue was the "threat" of calling security. Anyone would have walked out of that facility 100%

2025-08-11 20:19:54 UTC

It begins with me...he was just responding to her in the same way

The nurse could have used a nicer tone to descilate the situation

2025-08-11 20:31:53 UTC

I blame the nurse. She started wrong

2025-08-11 21:26:31 UTC

Wrong. Just wrong.

2025-08-11 22:10:44 UTC

This nurse should be fired on the spot, and yet I have seen hasty rude behavior from coworkers. Inappropriate, unprofessional and many other words I could use.

yep

2025-08-11 22:51:00 UTC

The patient needed an explanation and given some options

2025-08-12 01:16:04 UTC

The nurse needs a break or career change.

2025-08-12 02:32:56 UTC

The situation got escalated very quickly and the nurse should have used communication skills

2025-08-12 06:46:26 UTC

2025-08-12 17:30:35 UTC

RN showed no respect via body language and tone.

The nurse didn't give options and wasn't respectful to the patient. She was not successful in getting the patient to cooperate.

2025-08-12 17:57:26 UTC

She should show some empathy

RN spoke with a negative tone

2025-08-12 19:22:20 UTC

2025-08-12 19:32:41 UTC

Patient may want an explanation to as why he needs to do that. Also the tone of the nurse was harsh.

Well that was rude! I'm sure the nurse didn't think about how she came across to the patient. I'm sure she is busy, but she came across very rude and demanding.

2025-08-13 17:22:31 UTC

Body language and tone was coming off as demanding and aggressive.

2025-08-13 17:42:06 UTC

What do you think the patient was thinking?

2025-08-13 17:45:37 UTC

I ain't gettin naked for a foot wound

nurse needs approach more professionally

2025-08-13 18:41:41 UTC

2025-08-13 19:39:20 UTC

The patient was feeling pushed around

2025-08-13 19:57:01 UTC

The RN needed to have more patience and empathy. Should have talked to the patient more respectfully.

The nurse should have acted in the professional manner and not in a demanding manner . This way of speaking can draw power issues and the ending can be nasty

2025-08-13 22:14:25 UTC

2025-08-13 23:50:30 UTC

The nurse should have explained to the patient what she needed to do and ask if he could change into a gown instead of just telling him.

2025-08-14 01:43:09 UTC

inappropriate tone

2025-08-14 14:19:21 UTC

the nurse was short and pushy from the start while the patient was on his phone

2025-08-14 14:47:28 UTC

The nurse was antagonistic towards the patient and made the situation worse.

The worker's pushiness/bossiness makes the pt instantly resistive.

2025-08-14 17:16:40 UTC

2025-08-14 21:51:31 UTC

She was to demanding

What was the nurse thinking

2025-08-14 23:11:23 UTC

I'm sure the nurse was really busy but she just shot herself in the foot with the way she handled that.

The nurses approach was too aggressive, causing the pt to become defensive. She then finished with a threat, and this pt stood his ground. Absolutely a terrible approach, we should give the pt the feeling we are serving for their benefit, and asking their help to complete a treatment or prepare for one, not demanding compliance with a penalty for not obeying.

2025-08-15 00:07:35 UTC

Staff was too aggressive when walking into the room

2025-08-15 00:39:44 UTC

Nurse was too confrontational

2025-08-15 01:48:26 UTC

2025-08-15 04:19:59 UTC

did not treat the patient as a person

The patient likely felt disrespected because he was told what to do instead of asked.

2025-08-15 18:27:59 UTC

2025-08-15 19:36:24 UTC

The nurse did not have a respectful tone as she was probably thinking of all the things that she still had to do this shift. The nurse did nothing to help the situation.

2025-08-16 04:42:41 UTC

The nurse was very demanding. She did not show any empathy, instead she rushed the patient and decided to get defensive.

2025-08-16 12:22:56 UTC

The nurse was demanding not explain why he needs a gown.

2025-08-16 16:52:36 UTC

The nurse needed to be more empathetic to the vulnerability involved with wearing a flimsy gown. She needs to explain why with a kind tone.

The nurse was being very demanding and rude. The nurse could have changed her tone. The patient was probably embarrassed and it needed in the patient not wanting to change.

2025-08-16 17:23:13 UTC

bossy nurse

2025-08-17 00:32:37 UTC

The importance of demeanor/ approach

2025-08-17 07:22:52 UTC

The patient may have been more compliant if the RN would have calmly asked the patient to gown up, and provided some explanation of why changing into the gown is important. The RN could have also asked what the patients concerns were about changing and tried to address those. Things can get busy on the floor, but we need to take time with patients, and understand that while we may be having a tough day, they are too. Otherwise they wouldn't have come into the hospital.

2025-08-17 10:51:38 UTC

bjhhu

2025-08-18 08:07:44 UTC

disrespectful demanding

2025-08-18 15:35:51 UTC

The nurse was abrupt and didn't explain anything.

2025-08-18 16:10:06 UTC

I thought the nurse did not ask the patient to change into gown. She basically demanded him to change into gown.

Purpose not effectively communicated

2025-08-18 20:56:38 UTC

she was rud

2025-08-18 21:59:20 UTC

The nurse was rude and did not ask if he would be willing to change. No respect for the patient.

Explain what is in need without being aggressive

2025-08-18 23:26:22 UTC

2025-08-19 08:14:06 UTC

The patient may have been dealing with something stressful that affected his mood. The nurse did not offer a choice or compassion and used phrases that can escalate conflict

The nurse was in a hurry and didn't give consideration to the patient's autonomy.

2025-08-19 08:17:27 UTC

Her tone was bossy and did not allow the patient a choice in the matter. It's important to introduce yourself, politely ask the patient to get changed into the gown and give a brief explanation to why the patient needs to change into the gown.

2025-08-19 16:32:47 UTC

2025-08-19 18:27:18 UTC

This was more a tonal issue rather than a what was said issue.

2025-08-19 18:58:00 UTC

seems like the patient was matching the nurse's tone and neither one was appropriate

Patient was not having it.

2025-08-19 19:41:33 UTC

2025-08-19 23:32:43 UTC

The RN did not explain anything well.

2025-08-20 17:09:42 UTC

Wrong approach. A simple explanation for the necessity of a gown would have helped.

2025-08-21 04:17:55 UTC

It seems the patient is not interested in the care, and the nurse seems not having time t explain why the patient should wear gown.

2025-08-21 04:27:01 UTC

Both the patient and nurse none is kind, just they are confronting

2025-08-21 15:16:16 UTC

The nurse was ureasonable.

how did it end

2025-08-21 21:21:16 UTC

it ended in escalation

Always explain and take your time with your patients, never make demands.

2025-08-21 23:32:18 UTC

lots of things

2025-08-22 04:59:15 UTC

2025-08-22 20:44:01 UTC

2025-08-22 22:15:21 UTC

the nurse could've said things nicer.

2025-08-23 16:28:54 UTC

Observed and noted

The patient felt defensive

2025-08-23 17:32:42 UTC

The nurse's tone was off-putting which resulted in a defensive response from the patient. Then the nurse escalated the situation further with the threat of involving security which only added to the patient's hesitancy.

I always think how would i wat someone to treat me or one of my loved ones.

2025-08-24 00:20:08 UTC

Nurses could have approached the situation a bit more calmy and more professionally, could have changed how the patient reacted.

2025-08-24 00:32:24 UTC

2025-08-24 03:46:40 UTC

the nurse seems to be having a bad day and is taking it out on the patient

get eye level

2025-08-24 18:11:33 UTC

2025-08-24 18:38:28 UTC

Patient might be thinking, "She is rude, and I'm supposed to put my trust in her?"

The nurse might be thinking, "I have had such a long day, what is this guy's deal?"

The nurse did not try to do anything to help the situation. She fights back with "Because I am your nurse"

This caused the man to respond reactively. Instead, she needs to approach warmly, and explain what she needs from the man and why.

nurse had a bad tone and approach to the problem, patient was irritated

2025-08-25 02:04:01 UTC

I would like to hear what you are saying and I need you to look at me for now and then you can get back to your phone.

2025-08-25 07:10:53 UTC

communication was aggressive on both sides, but the RN responded aggressively instead of deescalating the situation

2025-08-25 14:19:14 UTC

2025-08-25 15:47:46 UTC

Descalate when possible

2025-08-25 19:42:08 UTC

Demanding verbal and body language. She offered no explanation and forgot she was dealing with another person.

she's rude

2025-08-26 01:59:20 UTC

2025-08-26 02:24:20 UTC

RN told the patient what to do rather than being asked.

Use respectful communication

2025-08-26 05:42:25 UTC

2025-08-26 15:16:46 UTC

Nursing is customer service, and she was meeting him where he is at

Nurse was demading which leads to a non-receptive patient

2025-08-26 16:51:27 UTC

The patient did not want to put the gown on.

2025-08-26 19:24:55 UTC

Pushy

2025-08-26 21:17:14 UTC

The nurse approached the patient in an aggressive manner, which may have caused the patient to respond with resistance. The patient may have also been dealing with a personal matter, since he was on the phone and seemed overly agitated.

nurse was very aggressive and not nice

2025-08-26 21:58:14 UTC

2025-08-27 10:09:32 UTC

A lot went wrong in this scenario. Patient was not interested, nurse was over the top

Patient was being told what to do instead of given options

2025-08-27 17:25:00 UTC

2025-08-27 18:28:04 UTC

the nurse was in a rush and was being kind of rude to the patient

2025-08-28 04:45:46 UTC

RN didnt need to get so upset so quickly

agreed

2025-08-28 10:55:08 UTC

2025-08-28 14:10:28 UTC

agree!

2025-08-28 15:07:58 UTC

Nurse was not effective because she was not polite and informative

2025-08-28 18:00:03 UTC

Patient is an adult not a child. Treat as such

Demanding

2025-08-28 19:54:21 UTC

Nurse was talking in a very demanding way instead of informing the patient why they needed to don the gown.

2025-08-28 21:55:03 UTC

Nurse could have asked instead or ordering patient to change into gown

2025-08-29 03:31:59 UTC

forceful approach

Nurse failed to show understanding and empathy

2025-08-29 05:14:41 UTC

So much went wrong!

2025-08-29 10:13:09 UTC

patient may have been embarrassed or running late for a mtg. The nurse was not acting professionally or graciously. It ended poorly. The nurse could have followed steps to deescalate the situation rather than ramp it up

Thoughts

2025-08-29 14:31:10 UTC

It ended horrible. Most people coming into care can feel a lot of different ways and need to be understood and asked and respected not being bossed around and not given an opportunity to ask or perhaps voice their concerns.

I think that the pt was thinking why is the nurse being so forceful and negative and I think the nurse could have approach the conversation differently.

2025-08-29 15:20:53 UTC

Nurses approach set the tone for a negative experience from the beginning

2025-08-29 15:37:05 UTC

nurse was hostile and pushy and approached it wrong

2025-08-29 16:14:42 UTC

2025-08-29 16:16:26 UTC

The nurse approached the situation wrong. her tone of voice was the first red flag. she was very demanding upon her request towards the patient. The patient may have felt intimidated and felt the loss of control from the service he was receiving.

2025-08-29 16:45:36 UTC

no respect on either side

2025-08-29 17:52:45 UTC

she could of changed her tone

2025-08-29 17:56:34 UTC

The nurse was totally unprofessional and rude

who's fault is it anyways?

2025-08-29 18:37:30 UTC

either of them could have offered an explanation as to why to gown needs to worn or why they do not want to wear the gown. communication is important.

2025-08-29 18:41:15 UTC

tone and approach off putting/demands poorly received

2025-08-29 19:15:19 UTC

the nurse was rude

the nurse's tone was rude towards the patient. Which in turn caused the patient to respond defensively. The nurse then took an approach that was aggressive. Approaching the patient kindly and then explaining why what we need them to do is important, would have been more effective.

2025-08-29 19:24:15 UTC

The nurse was not taking how the patient was feeling being in the hospital and there was not a reason as to why he needed to be in the gown.

2025-08-30 01:08:21 UTC

Listening

2025-08-30 22:43:45 UTC

When a patient is in the hospital there are so many things that are removed from their control. Explaining why it is important to change into a gown and allowing privacy will aid in this situation. Going at the patient aggressively is not therapeutic.

2025-08-30 22:55:21 UTC

I think that the patient was thinking that her tone was demanding and that because she was demanding him to do something that he probably definitely did not want to do it now. Especially since he was not given any reason to, and he was busy doing something.

Patient thinking

2025-08-31 02:40:01 UTC

Patient was probably thinking why? Or why am I not getting an explanation?

2025-08-31 03:47:12 UTC

I believe the patient did not feel like his feelings were being adequately cared for and that led to the scenario being more adversarial than what it should have been.

The tone and forcefulness of no other option is not helpful to the situation and other things

2025-09-01 08:40:33 UTC

2025-09-01 16:43:21 UTC

The nurse went in with very little compassion for the patient and expected him to follow her demands. Meanwhile, he is likely worried and already confused about what may be going on.

Pushy Nurse

2025-09-01 20:58:35 UTC

The nurse handled that very wrong. The patient is just expressing his cooperation.

2025-09-01 23:06:57 UTC

The nurse was rude

2025-09-02 17:03:01 UTC

2025-09-02 17:16:53 UTC

the patient may have been embaressed

Not effective communication...

2025-09-02 18:12:38 UTC

The patient probably felt like the nurse was being authoritarian, the nurse probably felt like the patient was being rude, the nurse did not do anything to try to help the situation, it ended with patient not getting into the gown and things will possibly get worse if she does call security.

2025-09-02 20:15:29 UTC

The nurse had a bad tone going into it, I think the patient responded appropriately for how he may be feeling at that time.

Oh boy...

2025-09-03 10:35:48 UTC

This nurse was very business like with her matter-of-fact communication. She was very cold and direct instead of offering a why that it might be helpful for the patient to be in a gown.

Nurse was rude

2025-09-03 15:28:36 UTC

2025-09-03 16:33:24 UTC

Poor approach, regardless of how cooperative the patient may have wanted to be, most people would have become irritated and argumentative with the tone and wording used in this scenario.

2025-09-03 16:54:22 UTC

she needs to put herself in his shoes and see if she would like to be talked to that way

Unprofessional Nurse

2025-09-03 18:43:48 UTC

Working with patients requires a much less aggressive approach.

2025-09-04 04:22:53 UTC

being demanding, and not explaining why

Pt didnt want to change into a gown because maybe he thought he was going to be discharged soon. RN may have thought that it wasn't a big deal to change into a gown.

2025-09-04 04:30:32 UTC

Nurse was being disrespectful which the patient reciprocated

2025-09-04 08:57:49 UTC

2025-09-04 14:24:48 UTC

Very rude and confrontational. I wouldn't respond well to being spoken to like that, either.

2025-09-04 17:10:14 UTC

what i noticed that went wrong is that the patient seemed upset and the nurse response was not an understanding tone and more of demanding tone which upset the patient even more

2025-09-04 20:00:57 UTC

It was a pushy situation

2025-09-04 21:51:20 UTC

Tone and wording were demanding, no engagement with the patient

2025-09-04 23:56:13 UTC

The nurse was demanding and not being respectful

2025-09-05 00:41:32 UTC

2025-09-05 02:37:04 UTC

The nurse sounded very rude and was demanding instead of asking.

2025-09-05 21:50:06 UTC

slam dunk!

2025-09-05 21:59:43 UTC

The Nurses first impressions will always be remembered.

Nurse was rude to patient.

2025-09-05 23:27:21 UTC

use ICARE

2025-09-06 00:12:15 UTC

The nurse did not set the tone well. It's up to the RN to create a welcoming environment with a positive tone from the beginning, which she did not do.

2025-09-06 09:45:19 UTC

give patient choice

2025-09-06 10:14:54 UTC

The nurse did not explain well to the patient what needs to be done.

2025-09-06 10:46:22 UTC

2025-09-06 13:45:20 UTC

She was demanding without a reason why.

becareful with your tone

2025-09-06 16:35:08 UTC

I think in this case the nurse didn't really explain what he should do, if she has told him that she would leave the gown for him tô change and leave the room that would help

2025-09-06 18:22:22 UTC

Completely wrong approach by RN

2025-09-06 19:35:26 UTC

nurse approached the patient in a authoritative tone, leading the patient to react the way he did.

2025-09-06 23:59:35 UTC

2025-09-07 00:03:27 UTC

shouldn't walk in making demands or have that tone.

nurse was aggressive

2025-09-07 01:52:49 UTC

pt didn't want to be there in the first place, staff was short and demanding quick to be defensive and play the power card

2025-09-07 02:27:40 UTC

Ask instead of Tell someone especially a grown man.

2025-09-07 07:50:22 UTC

2025-09-07 07:55:47 UTC

helpful

2025-09-07 17:15:40 UTC

Nurse was unnecessarily rude from the start, setting a bad tone for the rest of the visit

bad situation all around. nurse seemed to want to exert control personally i have never had the phrase "because i'm the nurse, thats why" ever work out in any situation so not a line from my toolkit but i have thought of saying it alot... lol

2025-09-07 17:50:53 UTC

2025-09-08 00:30:23 UTC

The patient did not look interested in what the nurse had to say. From the lack of eye contact, the nurse did not have the patient's attention. The nurse did not help the situation. Instead, she demanded the patient change into a gown and when the patient asked why, she did not give a valid explanation. When he refused, she threatened to call security to get him to change into the gown. The nurse approached the scenario in a rush with what seemed like no intent to explain anything. The patient seemed disassociated with the plan of care.

negative approach

2025-09-08 00:42:15 UTC

Patients have the right to refused but give sometime to calm down and offer it again.

2025-09-08 02:59:55 UTC

2025-09-08 16:12:57 UTC

The nurse did not explain to the patient why he needed to get into the gown, and the patient was distracted by his phone as well

2025-09-08 16:27:46 UTC

She started off demanding/aggressive after walking in the door.

2025-09-08 17:53:19 UTC

the nurse could have had a different tone

2025-09-08 18:05:27 UTC

the nurse approaching with a rushed, demanding tone

the nurse should have said it in a nice and respectful way.

2025-09-08 19:06:07 UTC

2025-09-08 19:10:33 UTC

Because I'm the nurse creates a power struggle

2025-09-08 19:21:59 UTC

Could have been handled differently by the nurse

Love and Logic

2025-09-08 21:02:54 UTC

Pt needs to have choices in order to feel that they are participating in their care.

She was more about task-oriented than seeing the patient where he was at. She did not respond well to the core of his concern or disinterest

2025-09-08 21:09:26 UTC

2025-09-08 21:34:52 UTC

nurses tone was unprofessional

2025-09-09 09:09:43 UTC

2025-09-09 11:02:10 UTC

The nurse did not give the patient a choice and just demanded pt to change to his gown. when pt said he would not do it, nurse said if he won't do, she'd call security. it is a form of threatening him.

male was irritated and just wanted to get things going along to be able to leave

The patient has no idea why this person is demanding / telling him to take off his cloths and put on a gown. The nurse gave no explanation, and was not respectful about it.

agree!

2025-09-09 15:44:15 UTC

yay

2025-09-09 16:05:13 UTC

Nurse didn't help reduce anxiety and connect with the patient. Both patient and nurse had rude tones with each other.

Both fail at communicating and setting the tone for a successful visit. Nurse to bossy and demanding and Patient to stubborn.

2025-09-09 17:58:29 UTC

2025-09-09 18:03:57 UTC

2025-09-09 18:37:04 UTC

The nurses's tone was all wrong.

2025-09-09 20:09:37 UTC

2025-09-09 20:11:48 UTC

The nurse should have asked instead of ordered. Girl was probably stressed/running late for something else, but it's important for her to try and focus on the patient she's with in the moment and not what she's gotta get done when she leaves the room.

Tone of voice

2025-09-09 21:10:01 UTC

2025-09-09 21:16:54 UTC

Instructions are threatening and no explanation of why he was instructed on doing what he is being told.

2025-09-09 21:29:52 UTC

in the video, the nurse was rude and rushing. she did not explain why we need to put the gown on. the patient was also distracted with his phone.

2025-09-09 21:38:52 UTC

The nurse was not kind. She also did not explain the why. The pt may already be stressed and coming in with demands and talking down to the pt is never the right answer. She should have been nicer and explained why the gown was needed

poor communication

2025-09-09 22:40:34 UTC

2025-09-09 22:54:56 UTC

The approach was demanding and was disrespectful to the dignity of the patient.

No choice or explanation.

2025-09-09 22:56:16 UTC

2025-09-09 23:01:27 UTC

The RN was escalating the situation instead of diffusing it.

The nurse had a "my way of the Highway" approach.

2025-09-09 23:08:12 UTC

The nurse was probably thinking that she was making a simple request and there was no need for push back. She was probably in a big hurry and had a lot of other things to do.

2025-09-09 23:09:25 UTC

2025-09-09 23:16:53 UTC

The nurse was the one at fault. Her tone was aggressive, controlling and led to violent threats. She needed to step back and try again with a calmer tone.

2025-09-09 23:27:28 UTC

Patient probably felt like he was being treated like a child.

The Nurse was rude therefore the patient responded with rude in return

2025-09-10 01:00:14 UTC

2025-09-10 03:35:42 UTC

lots of communication gaps: pt was on his phone, not listening or paying attention to his nurse and his nurse didn't use a very respectful tone with the patient.

2025-09-10 06:32:00 UTC

both were very defensive

Patient didn't like being told what to do.

2025-09-10 06:36:23 UTC

the caregiver's voice should have been calmer

2025-09-10 09:08:22 UTC

2025-09-10 10:04:45 UTC

She was not pleasant

2025-09-10 15:37:00 UTC

The nurse should have asked the patient's permission first and explained why his clothes needs to be change to a hospital gown

2025-09-10 17:19:18 UTC

no explanation for the request

Everything went wrong. The patient was thinking "why is she demanding that I get into a gown?". the nurse may have been thinking "I'm in a hurry and 10 other things I need to do and he is on his phone not even paying attention.". I do not think the nurse did anything to help the situation. I would imagine the patient walked out or reported the incident to a supervisor.

not explaining has become more normalized and just telling a patient to do something has become easier for people. I have seen this with actions like this video and when meds are being given

talk to the pt in low tone of voice, try to explain and ask permission.

She could of started off by introducing herself and maybe ask how he's doing rather than making demands right away.

2025-09-14 20:58:13 UTC

How did it end?

2025-09-15 11:26:35 UTC

The approach of the nurse to the patient leads for the patient to be not cooperative.

2025-09-15 12:08:14 UTC

awesome

The patient was probably offended by the nurse's attitude. The nurse was probably annoyed that the patient did not want to comply with a simple task. The nurse didn't do anything to help the situation. The task at-hand (changing into a gown) was not completed. The nurse should have been more accommodating to the patient and his question, and the patient could have been more polite as well/not on his phone.

2025-09-15 18:45:30 UTC

2025-09-15 18:56:17 UTC

SCARY

she thought she was ash trevino

2025-09-15 20:23:07 UTC

Poor approach

2025-09-15 23:09:40 UTC

Nurse should’ve explained to patient why it was necessary to change into a gown and gave him privacy.

Patient and RN matched each other's attitudes, leading to an even greater negative interaction from both parties. As the professional, she should have handled that better.

2025-09-16 00:00:28 UTC

It was presented as a demand with no explanation.

2025-09-16 03:25:37 UTC

2025-09-16 05:31:14 UTC

The patient wanted some form of his own control

Nurse doesn't understand patient is a customer

2025-09-16 10:26:49 UTC

Patients are customers and good, positive service to a customer has to be paramount in all service industries.

the nurse seemed to be too demanding instead of giving choices, then immediately wanted to call security

2025-09-16 13:51:51 UTC

The Rn could of been a little more considerate and less agressive

2025-09-16 14:57:50 UTC

2025-09-16 17:36:50 UTC

The nurse could have approached the patient with a polite tone rather than rude.

i see similar behavior by staff when they feel pressured and are in a hurry. of course the "i'll call security..." was over the top and added for affect and would be professional idiocy

2025-09-16 19:27:12 UTC

2025-09-16 19:27:58 UTC

Patient did not want to participate and seemed like he couldn't be bothered to have input.

Possible patient thoughts

2025-09-16 20:46:19 UTC

The pt may have been feeling disrespected. The nurse's approach was abrupt and unfriendly with no real explanation of why or what the plan was.

rude

2025-09-17 04:31:23 UTC

2025-09-17 06:08:38 UTC

Being told to do something instead of asking is usually met with resistance.

2025-09-17 10:15:13 UTC

patient was upset and may not have felt comfortable., the nurse was just trying to get things done and was very demanding. This strategy and communication was very poor and led to the patient not being cooperative.

2025-09-17 11:19:52 UTC

The nurse was rude and told the patient what to do. Instead, the nurse should have explained the procedures and answered questions.

2025-09-17 12:58:44 UTC

Nurse did approach patient with respect. She gave the patient an order in a very negative manner and tone.

She commanded patient to get in a gown instead of nicely asking. Then she threatened to call security instead of politely explaining why the gown was necessary.

2025-09-17 15:58:32 UTC

2025-09-17 17:56:08 UTC

nurse was disrespectful to the patient

2025-09-17 20:37:23 UTC

The patient did not understand the need for him to get into a gown.

How did it end?

2025-09-17 23:04:13 UTC

I do not think that this would have ended well based on how there is a little bit of a power struggle in the beginning.

2025-09-17 23:36:24 UTC

The nurse was commanding the patient to put on the gown versus asking the patient to put on the gown

attitude was more demanding and unprofessional

2025-09-18 00:35:14 UTC

The nurse's tone was demanding.

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

2025-09-18 17:44:58 UTC

The nurse wanted him to change clothes quickly.

2025-09-18 22:37:32 UTC

2025-09-18 22:57:42 UTC

patient is not comfortable wearing the hospital gown

2025-09-19 00:29:48 UTC

wrong approach to patient

Nurse was rude

2025-09-19 04:03:30 UTC

The demeanor of the nurse set the mood for the patient

2025-09-19 04:54:26 UTC

2025-09-19 05:56:54 UTC

The nurse should not have been so demanding, it creates a hostile environment for the patient.

demanding patient

2025-09-19 10:09:19 UTC

Nurse was not respectful especially with her tone of voice

2025-09-19 11:11:07 UTC

The nurse was frustrated, patient was apprehensive

2025-09-19 12:17:53 UTC

The nurse walked in there immediately threatening the patient without explaining anything.

2025-09-19 18:07:55 UTC

2025-09-19 18:07:58 UTC

Need well explanation.

2025-09-19 18:39:38 UTC

way approach is not good

What do you think the patient was thinking?

2025-09-19 19:09:20 UTC

Why is this lady speaking to me with an aggressive tone and threatening to call security

He had a defensive reaction to her snippy tone asking him to change into a gown. This could have been avoided if the RN asked in a different manner.

2025-09-19 19:47:06 UTC

Lack of choice

2025-09-19 23:27:52 UTC

2025-09-20 02:55:07 UTC

The nurse came into the room and was hostile and bossy

2025-09-20 09:09:14 UTC

nurse was very demanding

2025-09-20 16:55:29 UTC

Communicate effectively

2025-09-20 21:13:28 UTC

2025-09-21 02:07:26 UTC

I look beautiful today :)

2025-09-21 11:29:23 UTC

Listen

2025-09-21 14:45:42 UTC

How did the nurse listen to the patient or ask why?

2025-09-21 15:20:55 UTC

pt was told what to do by nurse in a negative tone

2025-09-21 21:43:50 UTC

demanding vs asking to be an active player in his care.

Unkind RN

2025-09-21 22:53:14 UTC

The RN was unkind to the patient and demanding the patient change. This is inconsiderate and disrespectful and does not allow for patient choice. She also explains "the rules" creating a power struggle.

2025-09-22 00:04:01 UTC

The nurse was bossy and that probably made the patient embarrassed to change in front of the nurse. The nurse should have been more polite and calm.

The Nurse was demanding and not giving proper explanation

2025-09-22 03:49:26 UTC

If the nurse had taken the time to use a gentler approach to the patient and use de-escalation techniques, there could have been a more positive outcome.

2025-09-22 14:14:15 UTC

2025-09-22 15:21:23 UTC

nice topic

They couldve respected each other more

2025-09-22 16:26:05 UTC

I would be annoyed with my nurse too. She was grumpy right away.

2025-09-22 16:44:37 UTC

2025-09-22 17:18:41 UTC

Harsh tones

both are in a stressful situation, and communication is not appropriate

2025-09-22 21:34:49 UTC

What do I think the Nurse was thinking?

2025-09-22 21:44:55 UTC

As a nurse, I would assume the nurse was busy and had a lot on her plate. Or, it could have been her 10th pt in the ED and the 9 previous were uncooperative and she went into this situation as if this pt would be as well. All 9 pts, by this interaction, could have been by her own doing. In a situation where someone is being asked to be vulnerable, the ask needs to be polite and empathetic to the pt and the situation in what brought them to the hospital in the first place. Kindness goes a very long way.

They both entered the situation from a place or defensiveness/ irritability. She could have approached him more gently and answered his question.

2025-09-22 22:00:05 UTC

Very demanding and immediately escalated to security coming in.

2025-09-23 15:54:54 UTC

nurse was bossy

2025-09-23 18:40:37 UTC

Nurse behavior

2025-09-23 20:00:11 UTC

She came in with a demanding and threatening attitude.

lets be reasonable

2025-09-23 21:12:54 UTC

patient being told what to do. and speaking with a negative tone.

2025-09-24 01:21:08 UTC

I think that the pt was frustrated and became irritated and no longer wanted to participate in his cares. The nurse seemed to get very agitated which I believe escalated the situation.

2025-09-24 02:59:50 UTC

She is being aggressive with her tone and not explaining the reasoning behind her request

2025-09-24 08:22:12 UTC

Patient was probably thinking what is the purpose of changing

2025-09-24 15:29:39 UTC

The nurse didn't ask she told him and then threatened security. He may not have though he would be staying long.

2025-09-24 16:20:36 UTC

2025-09-24 16:37:54 UTC

The RN/NA approach to the patient was wrong.

2025-09-24 16:38:19 UTC

The nurse or NA approach was wrong

The nurse came on too strong from the start and could have provided options.

2025-09-24 17:17:41 UTC

The Nurse Didn't Have any Empathy For The Patient

2025-09-24 18:10:49 UTC

The nurse entered the room without introducing herself to the patient. She did not explain what the plan of care would be.

2025-09-24 18:25:09 UTC

That was one sassy nurse!

2025-09-24 18:55:13 UTC

She lacked compassion from the beginning. And she was clearly trying to show that she was in charge, "do this or else!" I don't think she did anything to help the situation.

Awful situation

2025-09-24 19:48:36 UTC

Empathy works

2025-09-24 20:38:26 UTC

Put yourself in the patient's position. Try to see their situation from their perspective.

She was rushing and giving orders

2025-09-24 20:41:54 UTC

agreed

2025-09-24 22:03:02 UTC

The nurse's attitude towards the patient does not help in this situation.

2025-09-25 01:10:34 UTC

2025-09-25 06:52:56 UTC

2025-09-25 06:54:33 UTC

Explain why the gown is necessary and ask if there is a reason he doesn’t want to put it on.

2025-09-25 06:58:01 UTC

Patient was not explained properly the reason behind the gown change, and was thinking Who is she and why I have to change in to the gown

2025-09-25 08:21:32 UTC

This nurse had a power attitude and was very bossy; she didn't explain why he needed to be in the gown and was unkind to the patient. the patient was obviously distracted which didn't help

The patient may have a little pride and maybe they didn't even want to be there in the first place

2025-09-25 14:51:54 UTC

2025-09-25 16:11:28 UTC

they were both rude

Explaining and asking usually gets more cooperation from patients.

2025-09-25 17:10:57 UTC

2025-09-25 18:41:00 UTC

the nurses tone made it every worse

The nurse was aggressive and in a bad mood

2025-09-25 23:08:52 UTC

Walk in with a different attitude and explain who she is and what she needs the patient to do.

2025-09-26 18:53:05 UTC

giving Orders to people doesn't work.

Patient is being difficult, does not want to be there.

2025-09-26 18:56:05 UTC

the nurse was demanding and careless towards the patient which made the patient talk back

2025-09-26 20:27:54 UTC

2025-09-26 20:44:43 UTC

Empathy is an human emotion AI will never replace.

2025-09-26 20:46:55 UTC

Working PRN

The nurse was abrupt and unprofessional

2025-09-27 00:22:19 UTC

Patient felt told and didnt feel like he had a choices.

2025-09-27 00:54:32 UTC

Nurse was not giving the patient autonomy and was threatning him with security

2025-09-27 05:47:39 UTC

2025-09-27 05:59:58 UTC

Nurse should ask rather than command, dont force it.

nurse seemed annoyed

2025-09-27 07:22:18 UTC

UNWELCOMING

2025-09-27 15:18:27 UTC

The nurse came in with a negative attitude and was not welcoming. She should have explained the steps and the reasoning in a better tone of voice.

Change into a gown

2025-09-27 17:42:19 UTC

Introducing yourself is good. Explaining the procedure and what is involved with the procedure will go a long way.

They were both frustrated

2025-09-27 21:28:41 UTC

Hilarious.

2025-09-28 06:16:27 UTC

She could have asked if he could do that for her?

2025-09-28 21:55:59 UTC

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Unprofessional

2025-09-28 22:58:40 UTC

nurse came out very rude and demanding. she did not show any compassion

2025-09-29 01:58:14 UTC

Her body language and tone of voice caused him to have a response like that. she needed to be more professional and compassion

good

2025-09-29 02:15:23 UTC

the nurse was demanding, not respectful with her communication

2025-09-29 03:25:50 UTC

the patient did not seem interested at all

2025-09-29 04:45:09 UTC

2025-09-29 04:49:50 UTC

the patient was getting frustrated as well as the nurse as she wasn't really explaining why he needed to put on a gown , so then nothing got done

2025-09-29 07:42:24 UTC

2025-09-29 16:05:38 UTC

Both nurse and patient had attitudes towards each other, patient seemed to be more into his phone than his encounter, so maybe thats why the nurse was irritated but either way she should have not been demanding like that

anonymous

2025-09-29 16:56:57 UTC

he was simply mirroring the attitude he was given.

respect

2025-09-29 17:30:33 UTC

aggressive approach means defensive reaction

2025-09-29 17:51:24 UTC

2025-09-29 18:49:55 UTC

Nurse could've been nicer to help the patient react different.

The nurse was being too task oriented and controlling. She needed to pause and remember that we are working with people and calmly explain the process.

2025-09-29 21:45:49 UTC

all good

2025-09-29 22:35:45 UTC

GREAT

2025-09-29 23:35:56 UTC

2025-09-30 01:13:29 UTC

nurses approach was wrong

2025-09-30 01:32:33 UTC

nurse was very demanding and threatening

2025-09-30 03:29:31 UTC

the nurse should of told her what she weas doing

2025-09-30 15:29:33 UTC

friendly tone and approach

2025-09-30 16:51:49 UTC

2025-09-30 16:53:29 UTC

lllllll

2025-09-30 17:05:27 UTC

The patient didn't want to cooperate, and the nurse wasn't helping by being so bossy. They both didn't get very far, he wasn't getting treatment, and she didn't get him to put the gown on.

Aggressive

2025-09-30 17:34:57 UTC

They both seemed deeply irritated and that issue could escalate very quickly.

2025-09-30 18:58:37 UTC

speaking too fast, with an aggressive tone

yes

2025-09-30 19:51:37 UTC

Patient could have thought it was too demanding, nurse could have thought patient was refusing, nurse escalated situation by ordering security, ended bad, and could have aggravated the pt more

2025-09-30 21:46:51 UTC

Should have explained the need

2025-09-30 22:17:18 UTC

The nurse was very rude, almost dehumanizing

2025-09-30 22:43:48 UTC

Explained more to the patient

2025-09-30 23:26:18 UTC

2025-10-01 00:11:45 UTC

The nurse approached the patient in an aggressive manner and was demanding.

the nurse was not explaining why he needs the gown

2025-10-01 08:24:23 UTC

2025-10-01 16:26:23 UTC

she needed to communicate calmly and with explanation

2025-10-01 16:28:05 UTC

lots of conflict.. couldve been triggered by multiple things

Ineffective Communication

2025-10-01 17:54:27 UTC

The introduction is nice to know your name, but nothing else was communicated in a way that made the person feel like an autonomous person. Demands are often met with resistance when we aren't given a choice.

nurse was rude

2025-10-02 00:33:22 UTC

2025-10-02 03:57:57 UTC

The nurse was demanding and wasn't willing to work with the patient

2025-10-02 15:51:07 UTC

WE JUST GOTTA DO OUR BEST

2025-10-02 16:25:23 UTC

tone is everything sometimes you need to assess the situation and not escalate it

2025-10-02 18:18:40 UTC

The patient just wanted an explanation as to why they had to change into a gown. The nurse did not give a proper explanation and was very rude in her response. The patient probably did not want to do anything for that nurse, let alone let that nurse continue to take care of him.

2025-10-02 20:11:33 UTC

Have a postive attitude and be patient.

postivity

2025-10-02 20:12:52 UTC

the nurse could have changed her tone. the patient was probably embarrassed. there were so many steps that could have been done before security was threatened to be called

2025-10-02 21:26:36 UTC

2025-10-02 22:20:34 UTC

the nurse had little patience and was rude with patient rather than allowing him an opportunity to potentially help patient understand why he needed to wear a gown and ultimately escalating the situation rather than de-escalating it

2025-10-03 01:49:53 UTC

The nurse was disrespectful to the patient's choice.

RN definitely had an attitude to begin with. She needed a better approach and not be so combative herself.

2025-10-03 05:41:31 UTC

Nurse started aggressive

2025-10-03 13:24:13 UTC

the nurse did not help the situation but instead was rushing the patient, which couldve been avoided.

2025-10-03 15:14:22 UTC

too fast

2025-10-03 18:09:58 UTC

2025-10-03 20:14:52 UTC

Nurse was aggressive and rude, no explanation as to why he needed to be in a gown and threatening with security. Easy was to make someone more upset

The patient was probably uncomfortable and instead of being asked, he was told

2025-10-04 14:28:08 UTC

what went wrong?

2025-10-04 21:51:28 UTC

The patient was told what to do, rather than ask and make the patient a participant in his care.

The patient responded.

2025-10-05 10:39:04 UTC

2025-10-05 17:29:09 UTC

The patient probably felt a loss of power/control, the nurse was very aggressive. The nurse is probably in a hurry and just wants the patient to do what she is asking. She threatened to call security if he didn't do what she asked. It caused him to become more agitated.

2025-10-05 18:27:48 UTC

fire with fire is worse

2025-10-06 08:26:13 UTC

The nurse was very rude and not caring and unprofessional

2025-10-06 19:22:54 UTC

actions are stronger than words

Nurse did not ask just gave a direct order. Which made the patient mad faster

2025-10-06 23:13:24 UTC

At times when we are running out of time, and wanted to get things done, we can come out to be direct, inconsiderate and may sound rude, so we just need to exhale and calmly do with respect the tasks needed

2025-10-06 23:43:15 UTC

RN's tone of voice may have triggered the patient's behavior.

2025-10-07 07:13:40 UTC

Maybe ask the Patient and explain the reason you need him in a gown

2025-10-07 13:58:21 UTC

I think the nurses tone in the beginning started the whole interaction going downhill plus she did not explain the reasoning just threatened him.

2025-10-07 20:57:20 UTC

2025-10-07 23:15:38 UTC

The nurse escalated the situation and didn't explain the reasoning behind why the patients should change into a gown.

2025-10-07 23:51:45 UTC

She was defensive immediately

2025-10-08 10:50:06 UTC

Nurse was should not argue with the patient.

2025-10-08 15:08:05 UTC

2025-10-08 21:19:56 UTC

HOW WE APPROACH PATIENTS IS HUGE

The man probably thinks he is independent at home and doesn’t need to be told what to wear here.

2025-10-09 15:40:23 UTC

Nurse was telling patient what to do rather than letting him decide for himself

2025-10-09 20:20:02 UTC

ridiculous

2025-10-09 20:21:06 UTC

2025-10-10 01:31:52 UTC

Nurse was rude and did not give an explanation

nurse was not empathetic and was bossy. She can explain why he needs to be in a gown for better assessments.

2025-10-10 10:17:28 UTC

2025-10-10 11:08:40 UTC

The nurse was very unprofessional, body language, tone, and went straight to threatening the patient.

2025-10-10 12:43:57 UTC

the patient is grumpy so the nurse should have responded in a more professional manner instead of personallly

Being told what to do with an attitude will get you nothing but push back.

2025-10-10 14:27:16 UTC

2025-10-10 18:17:04 UTC

RN was demanding that the patient change into a gown which can be unprofessional in mannerism and talk, which also can lead to a violent outcome from the patient.

Power struggle

2025-10-10 18:58:01 UTC

Poor Approach

2025-10-10 19:31:19 UTC

The nurse could have asked him to get into the gown nicer. If he refused the nurse could have explained to him why she needed him in a gown instead of giving him a demand like "I am the nurse and I said so".

pt was probably confused as to why he was being forced to change in front of someone he didnt know. The nurse honestly didnt even do anything to try and help the situation besides being assertive and bossy.

2025-10-10 21:28:01 UTC

The nurse was rude and bossy. People come to hospitals because they are sick or hurting. People use phones to contact loved ones and bosses. Hospitals are scary. So, what he's on his phone. How would you feel if it was his worried wife asking how he is, and u yelled at him to get in an open-ended dress

rude

2025-10-11 01:08:05 UTC

Nurse needs to watch her tone and remember he is a grown up who just wants to know whats going on first

2025-10-11 02:31:19 UTC

The nurse did not make the patient a part of the care plan. She just gave orders and never gave options.

Miscommunication

2025-10-11 09:09:13 UTC

A little bit of kindness goes a long way!

2025-10-11 15:30:37 UTC

This nurse has 0 bedside manners!

2025-10-11 17:55:10 UTC

2025-10-11 18:16:01 UTC

They were both being difficult.

She bossed him around like a bully on the playground instead of talking to him like an adult.

2025-10-11 20:32:11 UTC

2025-10-12 00:10:49 UTC

I back the patient. The nurse was way bossy.

2025-10-12 02:59:32 UTC

explaining the reason and watching

the nurse was very aggressive and bossy, I wouldnt have wanted to listen to her either if I was a patient

2025-10-12 15:39:36 UTC

TRAIN WRECK SCENARIO

2025-10-12 21:21:11 UTC

The patient should have been validated by been asked how he could have been helped in terms of looking for the reason he wasnt willing to cooperate. The the demeanor by the nurse did not help at all. She was bossy and unwilling to engage in a positive professional dialogue with the patient.

2025-10-13 16:34:33 UTC

Patient was unaccepting of his situation, and the nurse did not do the greatest job at being empathetic toward the patient.

What was the patient thinking.

2025-10-13 19:33:37 UTC

He had to be thinking that the nurse was rude. There was no explanation of the process or what was going to happen. She did not seem to care about the patient.

the nurse was bossy and pushy

2025-10-13 20:24:17 UTC

the nurse had a bad approach

2025-10-13 20:28:33 UTC

RN sounds irritable and told the patient that she will call security if he is not cooperative. She acts like she is commanding her kids at home.

2025-10-13 23:11:51 UTC

the patient felt defensive to the nurse's attitude.

2025-10-14 05:23:35 UTC

2025-10-14 08:44:14 UTC

VERY CONDESCENDING

Patient vs nurse

2025-10-14 15:17:08 UTC

The patient was not approached in a calm and respectful manner. The nurse possibly was rushed and was bulldozing the patient to do what she wanted instead of asking, she was telling the patient what to do. No options for the patient.

Agreed

2025-10-14 19:08:53 UTC

2025-10-14 21:31:17 UTC

The nurse went in seeming annoyed and it did not help the patient's feeling being in the ER

2025-10-14 21:40:42 UTC

The nurse did not help by saying I told you to as the reason

their voices

2025-10-14 21:54:08 UTC

the nurses voice tone could be a little friendly, so the patient will accept her request. and not been so defensive.

2025-10-15 01:38:48 UTC

The patient is already stubborn, and the nurse was bossy and did not explain anything. Asking and being respectful goes a long way in getting a patient to comply.

2025-10-15 02:54:02 UTC

"Don't tell me how to live my life". The nurse wasn't thinking. The nurse escalated the situation. It didn't end well. The nurse was too harsh. The whole video was the opposite of therapeutic communication.

Bad all the way around

2025-10-15 15:45:02 UTC

The nurse was horrible to him.

many things went wrong

2025-10-15 19:05:15 UTC

The nurse was commanding and a little bossy, which only escalated the patient's already poor mood.

The nurse did not give the patient anytime to think about what was going on.

2025-10-15 21:06:15 UTC

2025-10-15 21:52:19 UTC

He is in busy work mode.

The nurse was thinking - i don't have time for this my other patients are all critical. Well, she didn't do much. LOL! I bet he didn't put on that gown. What went wrong - being bossed or told vs being asked.

yes, this is true

2025-10-16 00:17:54 UTC

yes

2025-10-16 01:57:38 UTC

rude

2025-10-16 06:58:28 UTC

2025-10-16 13:57:19 UTC

The nurse definetley threatened the patient and that is a very wrong way of starting the conversation

a negative attitude

2025-10-16 15:40:18 UTC

2025-10-16 16:57:19 UTC

dido what they said

Explaining what is being done

2025-10-16 17:25:44 UTC

2025-10-17 03:19:35 UTC

The patient was clearly disinterested in doing anything until his questions were answered, and distracted with his phone

The nurse wasn’t clear on why and was way too bossy

2025-10-17 05:57:05 UTC

2025-10-17 17:02:29 UTC

Poor bedside manner

making demands

2025-10-17 18:21:48 UTC

usually does not end well for either the provider or the patient

The RN came on too strong. Meet with the patient at eye level if possible and give respect.

2025-10-17 22:08:52 UTC

2025-10-18 08:32:13 UTC

The nurse may have decided she didn't like the patient before she met him. She may have felt the need to assert dominance in the situation. No matter what she was feeling she should have not let her thoughts and emotions take over.

be nice

2025-10-18 22:40:44 UTC

2025-10-19 00:42:01 UTC

Nurse was rude and caused patient to not cooperate

2025-10-19 07:37:59 UTC

The RN should have noticed that [t was upset and instead of arguing back with them. Speak to them nicer

2025-10-19 11:41:13 UTC

The nurse was in a hurry and didn't explain why the pt needed to change into a gown. The pt didn't like being told what to do without a reason.

2025-10-19 15:00:44 UTC

telling pt what to do instead of giving options

2025-10-19 15:42:55 UTC

2025-10-19 15:44:37 UTC

No proper introduction, demands not asking.

first impression

2025-10-19 15:48:03 UTC

was rude and demanding.

aggressive tone set

2025-10-19 21:25:52 UTC

her approach was very demanding and rude

2025-10-19 22:18:13 UTC

2025-10-20 00:37:03 UTC

nurse escalated the problem

2025-10-20 00:37:40 UTC

2025-10-20 00:38:11 UTC

tone of voice

2025-10-20 00:38:31 UTC

yes

2025-10-20 00:42:36 UTC

nurse was not professional in her tone and didn't listen to the patient's concerns or offer options

Both were distracted and irritable. Each focused on their own agenda instead of working together for a solution.

2025-10-20 21:21:35 UTC

Mutual disrespect all around. Pt is distracted by choice or obligation, nurse is distracted/irritable and treats pt like a child.

2025-10-20 22:20:58 UTC

Start nice

2025-10-21 04:58:55 UTC

2025-10-21 16:48:31 UTC

nurse took autonomy away

2025-10-21 16:53:18 UTC

the nurse could of been more professional and less demanding you get more bees with honey

2025-10-21 17:17:54 UTC

The nurse could have gotten better results if she would have initiated the request as a choice.

The patient seemed to be dressed for work and busy on his phone. Perhaps impatient for the doctor to just come see him so he can get back to work. May have had the perception that changing into the gown was going to prolong the visit.

2025-10-21 17:38:43 UTC

Not a good example of a nurse

2025-10-21 20:04:34 UTC

2025-10-22 04:33:25 UTC

Nurse was rude

2025-10-22 06:56:10 UTC

patient was upset

The nurse presented herself as being "demanding" and didn't give the patient the justification for changing into a gown. It would have been better for the nurse to explain why a gown would be a better option, especially if it involves performing examinations or procedures on the patient. I would have approached it from the standpoint that if we (hospital staff) were to perform a procedure I would not like getting blood or something else on the patient's personal attire.

2025-10-22 15:40:57 UTC

2025-10-22 20:25:24 UTC

The staff member was speaking in a demanding demeanor. There was not much choice for the patient to respond.

2025-10-23 06:21:05 UTC

The nurse should have gave the patient a better explanation than "Because I told you to". It was not professional.

2025-10-23 15:14:52 UTC

Too demanding and assertive with the patient when it wasn't necessary

2025-10-23 17:26:54 UTC

Not being sensitive to the patient, forceful tactics

No respect towards the patient. It all went wrong.

2025-10-23 17:35:58 UTC

the nurse should have talked to the pt in a different tone of voice and explained the pt what was the plan

2025-10-23 18:40:20 UTC

disaster

2025-10-24 12:38:31 UTC

She had an attitude immediately and told the patient what he had to do rudely.

2025-10-24 23:47:39 UTC

2025-10-25 19:56:21 UTC

Be kind to the patient

the nurse came off rude to the patient and demanding thus leading to the patient feeling defensive and not wanting to comply

2025-10-26 07:53:17 UTC

The nurse should have asked nicely and not with that tone she had, which just made the patient more uncomfortable.

2025-10-27 15:44:09 UTC

Demanding rather than explaining led to the disagreement

2025-10-27 17:19:24 UTC

2025-10-27 18:16:07 UTC

Nurse didn't bother to explain why he should change into the gown and seemed cranky

Nurse's body language suggested aggression and bossiness.

2025-10-27 18:24:57 UTC

The nurse was impatient and rude, escalating the situation.

2025-10-27 20:19:43 UTC

Aggressive nurse

2025-10-27 20:49:56 UTC

I felt put out by the way the nurse delivered the information!

2025-10-28 06:08:46 UTC

she was demanding

what went wrong

2025-10-28 15:28:58 UTC

The nurse did not treat patient with proper respect and did not follow BVC p

2025-10-28 19:57:09 UTC

I am not sure why the RN was speaking to the patient off the bat as if he was non-cooperative. Things would've gone smoother had she spoken to him nicely.

Nurse didn't give patient a choose

2025-10-28 20:08:28 UTC

Patient might of felt threated

2025-10-28 20:10:03 UTC

The nurse did not talk nice to the patient

2025-10-28 20:13:12 UTC

I don't think the nurse tried to help the situation

2025-10-28 20:14:44 UTC

Not well

2025-10-28 20:15:11 UTC

The patient was upset and probably felt like he had no control over the situation

2025-10-28 20:17:25 UTC

Patient was upset

2025-10-28 20:20:28 UTC

Should have gave options

2025-10-28 20:21:12 UTC

2025-10-28 22:55:13 UTC

I think the patient felt very bossed around and disrespected by the nurse. The nurse didn't give the patient an explanation. The tone caused pushback from the patient and lead to an unsuccessful situation.

the rn could have been warmer, she did not try to help the power struggle

2025-10-29 16:03:24 UTC

What was the nurse thinking?

2025-10-29 19:07:55 UTC

Obviously, we all know what went wrong. This nurse's approach was not right and her behavior caused the patient to be defensive. However, what had this nurse already been through that day with other patients? Not an excuse but if her day had already been difficult she might not have had time to step away to regroup.

2025-10-29 20:32:31 UTC

the nurse came in very aggressive, there's a way to speak to patients/ families, and maybe should couldve had a different response from the patient.

2025-10-29 21:30:05 UTC

The nurses tone of voice and demanding approach made the patient defensive

2025-10-30 05:00:22 UTC

2025-10-30 19:40:57 UTC

Abrupt approach, little more explanation about upcoming care will be helpful

Asking and giving choices goes a long way. Patients are people who need help, they should be treated kindly.

2025-10-31 14:33:50 UTC

2025-10-31 18:44:30 UTC

The nurse should have been kind and patient and gave the patient choice to his care.

Patient care

2025-10-31 23:43:06 UTC

Patient should never be demanded to do anything.

Pt was thinking the nurse was being demanding

2025-10-31 23:59:56 UTC

2025-11-01 10:18:33 UTC

The nurse seemed busy and tired and just wanted to get done

Not explaining the why behind the request

2025-11-01 23:38:19 UTC

2025-11-02 03:43:34 UTC

The nurse started off on the wrong foot.

2025-11-02 05:52:29 UTC

The patient probably felt the nurse was bossy

2025-11-02 18:26:20 UTC

nurse is demanding

The nurses tone could have come off as aggressive and demanding and that could have triggered the patient.

2025-11-02 21:18:55 UTC

2025-11-03 03:34:34 UTC

The nurse didn't explain why he needed to get into a gown. Then threatened to call security.

2025-11-03 09:52:34 UTC

Nurse needed to explain more to the patient and have a little patience.

Wrong

2025-11-03 15:30:55 UTC

all wrong

2025-11-03 15:46:23 UTC

Nurse's attitude was in fighting mode

Always be kind and compassionate!

2025-11-03 16:35:14 UTC

Rude and Demanding

2025-11-03 20:21:46 UTC

The nurse's tone was too commanding and the patient didn't want to be compliant

the nurse's tone is very aggressive

2025-11-04 17:03:55 UTC

2025-11-05 05:42:01 UTC

The way the nurse requested to get into the gown.

RN thinking, "I have a lot to do, let's get this pt ready quickly. She's only thinking of her tasks, not the pt's point of view."

2025-11-05 16:20:27 UTC

impatience

2025-11-05 16:32:23 UTC

TELLING THE PATIENT WHY PUTS HIM AT EASE

2025-11-05 19:53:25 UTC

Communication

2025-11-05 20:40:29 UTC

The nurse was very abrupt and quick to tell the patient what he needed to do, with no explanation.

bossy!

2025-11-06 00:01:57 UTC

The nurse was probably behind or spread thin and thought being direct was the shortest course to getting what she needed

2025-11-06 01:52:42 UTC

2025-11-06 07:42:43 UTC

He was probably caught off guard by her abrasive demeanor

The nurse demanded the patient to get into the gown instead of asking him and telling him why exactly he needed to be in the gown.

2025-11-06 17:10:33 UTC

what went wrong

2025-11-06 20:50:47 UTC

what went wrong

2025-11-06 20:54:09 UTC

Nurse is unprofessional, did not give the answer to the patient's why question.

2025-11-06 21:14:31 UTC

It all went wrong from the very beginning.

2025-11-06 22:22:44 UTC

The nurse was being too matter of fact.

2025-11-06 22:24:15 UTC

Patient probably didn't want to be told what to do without a reason. The nurse thought she needed to demand the patient change into a gown. She didn't do anything to help the situation. She threatened the patient, and he didn't comply with her demand.

2025-11-07 00:20:52 UTC

it ended poorly

2025-11-07 04:18:22 UTC

What do you think the patient was thinking?

2025-11-07 09:02:31 UTC

I'd say he was thinking who is this person coming in here and demanding that I strip down to put some gown on. Who does she think she is?

2025-11-07 10:57:12 UTC

She was bossy. He wasnt given much option

2025-11-07 10:58:21 UTC

She was bossy, he wasnt given much option

2025-11-07 19:15:17 UTC

The nurse was demanding

I can imagine the patient was probably wondering why she was so demanding.

2025-11-07 19:51:29 UTC

I do think that if she answered his question of why he needed to be in a gown, it would have gone smoother.

I don't personally think that she did a good job at all to de-escalate the situation.

2025-11-07 19:52:06 UTC

The patient could've been thinking

2025-11-07 20:47:09 UTC

Many things could've been going through his head. Maybe it was his first time or he was embarrassed. The RN was disrespectful and im sure made him really not want to or listen to her.

the nurse

2025-11-09 01:59:00 UTC

the nurse did not take time to explain why patient needed to get into the gown

2025-11-09 03:08:05 UTC

She was so rude!

The patient was thinking I have no idea what is going on and you're making demands at me. The nurse was in a hurry probably to finish up and get home. The nurse threatened to call security as a way to help her situation. It ended with push back from the patient and probably a much longer delay. Communication went wrong.

2025-11-09 03:19:34 UTC

the nurse did not handle it well

2025-11-09 19:45:46 UTC

2025-11-09 21:01:36 UTC

The patient was thinking that somebody is telling what to do and he isn't going to do it.

The nurse was thinking that she is working with a non-compliant patient.

The nurse did nothing to help the situation.

The nurse did not approach the patient in a kind manner and didn't educate the patient as to the reason for the gown.

the nurse sounded demanding

2025-11-09 22:34:02 UTC

2025-11-09 23:07:51 UTC

The nurse was rude and bossy!

The nurse doesn't explain to the patient why he needs to wear a gown, and her tone is very rude and impatient.

2025-11-10 04:47:29 UTC

nurse was not very professional

2025-11-10 06:39:26 UTC

Nurse was demanding rather than listening to pt

2025-11-10 13:05:09 UTC

The patient was upset

2025-11-10 18:06:51 UTC

The nurse felt fustrated

2025-11-10 18:07:12 UTC

2025-11-10 18:40:24 UTC

You not always have to be the boss, make it their idea

2025-11-10 20:06:35 UTC

The patient was busy doing something so she was interrupting him. She seemed to be irritated from the start and ordered him to change his clothes now in an aggressive manner. Was she irritated he was on his phone? Maybe but she did not give him a chance to put it down to interact.

N/A

2025-11-10 20:55:03 UTC

2025-11-10 21:58:29 UTC

the nurse could have been thinking that she has patients put on gowns everyday and she didn't really think she needed to explain why.

2025-11-10 22:37:11 UTC

she was too aggressive and did not ask him first, she told him what to do and did not give options.

..................................

Thoughts

2025-11-10 23:43:03 UTC

The patient was irritated that he was being told to do something without explanation. The RN was frustrated that the patient was not wanting to change into a gown but did not address why he needed to be in a gown or educate the patient after he refused.

I think the patient didn't like being told what to do instead of being asked.

2025-11-11 03:02:25 UTC

The patient was not ready to participate in his care, and the nurse could have changed her tone and explained why the patient has to wear the hospital gown.

2025-11-11 06:45:55 UTC

the nurse was demanding instead of asking nicely to change into the gown

2025-11-11 14:21:35 UTC

Room to improve noted

2025-11-11 18:34:38 UTC

The nurse was not very considerate or compassionate when approaching the patient. I Would be on edge myself and resist anything she proposed if I was addressed that way.

2025-11-11 19:47:58 UTC

The nurse only escalated the situation. She went in too aggressively instead of answering his questions with real answers.

Could have been better!

2025-11-11 20:45:48 UTC

The staff could have been less bossy. Patients also can be nicier... even if they don't feel good.

2025-11-11 21:15:52 UTC

We may be the current provider, but everyone should be treated with respect and have things explained and then given a choice.

2025-11-12 13:53:01 UTC

The nurse did not build good rapor with the pt, and was very demanding about the gown. She would of asked why he did not get into a gown, and it couldve became a discoussion

2025-11-12 14:38:26 UTC

the nurse's body language and verbal tone really set the parameter for the interaction. it's important to remember that for us it may be a job, but it can be very scary for a patient to experience vulnerability in situations like this

2025-11-12 15:43:32 UTC

Everything went wrong.

2025-11-12 18:31:32 UTC

Rude nurse

2025-11-12 18:40:52 UTC

The nurse was threatening the patient. She was very abrasive and rude.

Nurse was antagonizing the patient which made things worse

2025-11-12 19:06:33 UTC

Imposing authority instead of collaborating with the patient.

2025-11-12 19:30:18 UTC

2025-11-12 22:01:41 UTC

The nurse communicated poorly with the patient

2025-11-13 01:44:56 UTC

her tone and professionalism

sympathize with the patient, I understand you don't want to, but it allows us better access to areas if we need to do a blood draw and monitor vital. Explain

2025-11-13 01:46:23 UTC

everyone has a bad day

2025-11-13 05:50:50 UTC

but take a break, coworkers can help take up the work load

the nurse did not give the patient a choice or any reason

2025-11-13 07:56:03 UTC

2025-11-13 10:31:37 UTC

Demanding nurse, no explanations, just 'because I'm the nurse and said so"

Don't make me call your dad...

2025-11-13 20:18:01 UTC

The nurse went from zero to calling security. There are several other options prior to calling security.

2025-11-13 23:09:30 UTC

2025-11-13 23:21:17 UTC

The RN was rude right off the bat with the patient. Both in her body language and tone

2025-11-13 23:37:28 UTC

no way was this Dr visit needing me to put on a gown

this is the next thing; he won't mind

she escalated

power struggle, threats

she didn't offer him options

treat others the way you want to be treated

2025-11-14 00:51:09 UTC

The patient did not seem interested and probably was wondering why the things the nurse was asking were important

2025-11-14 01:33:32 UTC

the patient may have been thinking that the nurse was trying to control him

2025-11-14 11:36:27 UTC

2025-11-14 14:38:02 UTC

patient responded accordingly but also was more interested in his phone

in the scenario the patient was irritated and didn't want to comply. the nurse gave him no options. she was thinking he was just being argumentative. the nurse made threats to bring security. ended poorly

2025-11-14 15:13:05 UTC

2025-11-14 16:38:36 UTC

Nurse was just rude and no one is going to respond well to that.

2025-11-15 00:32:13 UTC

The nure could have asked rather than told

2025-11-15 00:47:06 UTC

RN was probably thinking "this is how we do things, I have 4 other patients, one of them isnt breathing, one of them has an unstable blood pressure, I need to pull a sheath out of the third, so just put the gown on?"

The nurse did not have a good approach with the pt.

2025-11-15 02:27:48 UTC

2025-11-15 04:19:18 UTC

2025-11-15 08:01:08 UTC

idk

2025-11-15 15:32:46 UTC

The patient reacted to the tone of the nurse, and after he questioned it, instead of de-escalating, she got an even worse tone. Hence, escalating the situation to a point that will be way harder to calm the patient down from.

2025-11-15 21:00:00 UTC

Like he was being bossed around.

2025-11-16 08:47:35 UTC

NEGATIVE APPROCH NOT HELPFUL.

2025-11-16 09:08:04 UTC

Need to explain properly to pt

no choices given, aggressive nurse

2025-11-16 18:45:57 UTC

The nurse started off rude. She was trying to be in charge.

2025-11-16 22:20:07 UTC

Pt. did not want to be told what to do, asking would have been kinder.

2025-11-17 15:11:10 UTC

Nurse did nothing.

2025-11-17 17:54:22 UTC

Nurse started off very defensive and harsh.

2025-11-17 22:26:07 UTC

Nurse thoughts

2025-11-17 23:09:13 UTC

'I'm tired, I didn't eat lunch. This Pt just needs to change so we can get this done."

nurse - helping

2025-11-17 23:18:40 UTC

The nurse did not try to help the situation. She was rude and demanding and not offering patient centered care

the nurse wanted to complete a task quickly, opposed to treating the patient fairly in the situation.

2025-11-18 00:04:01 UTC

2025-11-18 04:51:53 UTC

Makes Sense

2025-11-18 16:32:15 UTC

Nurses tone was authoritarian. She did not treat the patient respectfully nor explain his plan of care. Those actions immediately activated opposition from the patient.

2025-11-18 20:18:17 UTC

So many things happened here. The Nurse came in with a demanding attitude to begin with. She didn’t give the patient options. If she would have introduced herself and explained what she need the patient to do instead of telling him what he had to do he might have been compliant.

2025-11-18 21:26:04 UTC

What do you think the patient was thinking? The patient may have felt embarrassed, or disrespected, or confused about why they needed to get in a gown. The Patient may have felt the nurse was rushing them, which lead to his resistance and hesitation. The lack of clear explanation probably made the patient feel defensive and not control of the situation.

2025-11-18 23:14:43 UTC

The nurse's tone was harsh

The nurse did not communicate well.

2025-11-18 23:16:07 UTC

2025-11-19 03:03:10 UTC

he felt a certain type of way about her and what she wanted him to do

I think both of them needed an attitutde check

2025-11-19 08:13:32 UTC

2025-11-19 16:26:44 UTC

Nurse just wanted patient to do what she wanted.

2025-11-19 19:28:45 UTC

The phone was an issue

Nurse was rude and disrespectful for no reason. Not any way to speak to a patient.

2025-11-19 20:52:55 UTC

2025-11-19 22:06:06 UTC

hm. be nice.

2025-11-19 22:16:07 UTC

the nurse did nothing to help the situation, she was incredibly rude. maybe she was having an off day, but still, no excuse to treat a patient like that. if i was the patient, i would've returned the same energy back like this one did.

clash of personalities

2025-11-20 06:10:37 UTC

Nurse was being very demanding and not explaining to the pt why he needed to change.

2025-11-20 19:44:10 UTC

2025-11-20 20:28:11 UTC

The approach was wrong by the nurse.

Nurse was bossing, not explaining

2025-11-20 20:35:54 UTC

Poor communication from the RN and caused the patient to not want to do what was asked.

2025-11-20 20:54:19 UTC

2025-11-20 22:43:41 UTC

Nurse appeared to be on a power trip and that pt had a right to participate or not participate. Nurse use poor verbal tones

2025-11-20 23:38:25 UTC

i don't want to exposed

2025-11-21 00:29:40 UTC

Ask the patient instead of telling the patient what to do.

2025-11-21 00:34:26 UTC

Action speaks louder than words.

What went wrong

2025-11-21 00:52:12 UTC

Nurse told the patient instead of asking the patient.

2025-11-21 01:46:45 UTC

Nurse appeared to be demanding, high tone voice

nurse was rude

2025-11-21 11:42:18 UTC

2025-11-21 17:27:58 UTC

Nurse: my way or else!

The nurse was inpatient

2025-11-21 18:10:43 UTC

2025-11-21 18:12:27 UTC

The nurse was inpatient

The patient was addressed bu the RN in a rude and disrespectful manner.

2025-11-21 18:14:50 UTC

2025-11-21 19:05:16 UTC

She was telling him what to do in a rude manner

2025-11-21 19:18:38 UTC

Patient thinking nurse has rude demeanor; the nurse is using commanding language instead of kinder dialogue; threatening to call security was out of line, neither nurse nor patient got what they wanted/needed.

2025-11-21 22:51:58 UTC

The patient did not like being told what to do.

2025-11-21 23:45:29 UTC

It ended in a power struggle

2025-11-22 01:35:21 UTC

Patient was uncooperative and the nurse was not very patient with him. The whole situation could have gone completely different if both parties had been more kind and understanding of one another.

2025-11-22 05:04:04 UTC

RN should explain to patient why he needs to change into a gown.

2025-11-22 05:31:30 UTC

How you approach and greet the pt always matters

2025-11-22 05:39:19 UTC

rudeness from both

nurse was rude and demanding.

2025-11-22 08:05:52 UTC

The nurse is bossy, not using therapeutic communication to an obviously alert and oriented patient

2025-11-22 14:46:22 UTC

explain why

2025-11-22 17:00:29 UTC

He wanted a reason why

2025-11-22 18:43:03 UTC

The patient was likely thinking he wasn't going to be bossed around by this stranger.

2025-11-23 02:45:17 UTC

should be professional

2025-11-23 02:55:28 UTC

What was patient thinking

2025-11-23 05:53:33 UTC

Pt was probably wondering why the nurse was so adamant and rude about getting a gown on. When she said "because I am your nurse and asked you to" it became a power struggle and the pt automatically got more defensive

what do you think the nurse was thinking?

2025-11-23 07:58:47 UTC

Most likely she was tired and didn't have the patience to deal with a negative interaction, maybe at the last part of her shift and wanted to just go home.

I think the nurse should have remained calm, and she should have asked nicely, provided him with privacy and allowed him proper time to change before saying she is going to go get security

2025-11-23 14:03:53 UTC

The nurse escalated the patient

2025-11-23 17:14:02 UTC

The nurse did absolutely nothing to help the situation.

2025-11-23 20:30:56 UTC

2025-11-24 06:18:04 UTC

The RN could have kindly requested the full attention of the patient instead of getting offended to start our the interaction.

2025-11-24 16:00:23 UTC

increase communication and compassion

The nurse was bossy

2025-11-24 16:36:23 UTC

2025-11-24 17:18:31 UTC

the nurse did not attempt to deescalate the situation, she did not take the time to listen to the patient and explain to him why he had to put on the gown

2025-11-24 17:20:14 UTC

the man would not comply and the nurse called security

2025-11-24 17:22:13 UTC

the nurse did not exhibit respectful behavior

deescalation

2025-11-24 17:25:27 UTC

the nurse did not talk to the patient with respect and did not use patience and caused escalation

what went wrong

2025-11-24 17:27:15 UTC

the man would not put the gown on due to disrespectful behavior from the nurse

The nurse went in acting in charge and not giving any choices or respect to the patient. If she would have discussed with the patient, why he needed to change into a gown and given some answers he may have been a lot more willing to comply.

2025-11-24 17:27:31 UTC

the nurse came off as bossy. Patient was closed minded, however outcome could have been prevented if conversation was presented differently.

2025-11-24 19:33:05 UTC

2025-11-24 22:13:39 UTC

Nurse is very rushed and tried to command the situation to make it go faster. Which never works.

Pt needs to know the plan, and talked to in a respectful manner.

2025-11-24 22:48:36 UTC

what the patient was thinking

2025-11-25 01:21:54 UTC

I believe the patient was feeling too vulnerable. Being asked to undress is already vulnerable, and should have been handled with language and tone that emphasized why he benefits from changing into the gown instead of being placed in a position of feeling told to dress down "or else."

Communication Discussion

2025-11-25 01:23:15 UTC

Both seemed a bit rude and unaccepting of the situation. That lead to a complete break down in communication and progress for the patient.

professionalism

2025-11-25 04:58:28 UTC

2025-11-25 08:04:17 UTC

The patient didn't want to change into a gown. she could have lowered her voice a bit and not have threatened to call security and let the Dr know he refused to put a gown on or gave him privacy.

2025-11-25 09:15:50 UTC

The nurse went in to the scenario and just told the patient what to do. The nurse should have explained to the patient why we need them in a gown. If the patient still does not want to there are many other steps to try before going straight to " I will call security".

2025-11-25 09:46:22 UTC

lack of proper communication

Hostility met hostility.

2025-11-25 11:49:18 UTC

2025-11-25 17:52:07 UTC

nurse should have explained why to calm the patient instead of just bossing and threatening to call security.

2025-11-25 22:12:15 UTC

Did not want to be told what to do, he might have done it if asked or given a logic reason why.

2025-11-25 22:46:34 UTC

The patient was thinking: I have a meeting to get to! The nurse was thinkings: I have so much to do and I just need him to put on this gown. The nurse didn't improve the situation by threatening the patient. It ended in a power struggle.

not a good combo

2025-11-26 12:25:47 UTC

2025-11-26 19:44:52 UTC

She was dismissive.

uncomfortable

2025-11-26 21:26:55 UTC

Being pleasant to the patient and understanding will get you much further than being rude.

ROOD

2025-11-27 13:27:02 UTC

The patient was thinking that the RN was rude, so he was going to push back.

2025-11-27 15:20:28 UTC

what went wromg

2025-11-28 09:21:44 UTC

not well

2025-11-28 15:53:28 UTC

Self check

2025-11-28 17:42:58 UTC

It's important to check ourselves before each patient interaction. One bad interaction with a previous patient shouldn't carry over to another. We should strive to check our emotions at the door to make sure we are doing our best to be professional with them.

2025-11-28 18:23:57 UTC

Instead of calmly asking the patient to put on a gown and explaining why it was necessary the nurse immediately escalated to calling security. The patient is probably confused about why he would need to put on a gown

nurse was rude and told him what to do instead of asking him.

2025-11-28 23:56:16 UTC

2025-11-29 02:38:10 UTC

nurse is very rude

2025-11-29 03:31:05 UTC

The patient didn't understand why he needed to change. The nurse was thinking she needed him to change to get her job done.

the patient was thinking, the nurse is rude and bossy, he isn't getting an answer as to why, he is being told what to do

2025-11-29 14:08:56 UTC

2025-11-29 17:02:20 UTC

too forceful

2025-11-29 23:00:50 UTC

sit down with pt.; explain whats actually going on and whats needed for the procedure, be respectful of pt. time and say hopefully we can get you out of here in a timely manner, maybe then would be a lil more receptive to care.

Leave your attitude at the door

2025-11-30 02:23:21 UTC

Dont go into a patient room or interact with patients until you have left the last encounter behind. Meaning, dont go into a new patient room after having a bad encounter previously and taking it out on the new patient

2025-11-30 02:39:08 UTC

RN was not an effective communicator

2025-11-30 18:04:19 UTC

People no longer show respect for the medical field. We still need to be respectful but it is awful how far we have come

2025-12-01 02:50:43 UTC

2025-12-01 02:55:39 UTC

poor communication on the nurses end.

Pt probably feels that the nurse is rude and disrespectful. The nurse could have approach the whole situation differently.

2025-12-01 19:31:27 UTC

The nurse needs to treat the patient with respect and explain what and why she is doing something.

2025-12-01 19:37:49 UTC

The nurse came in hot and heavy without offering an explanation to the patient

2025-12-01 21:06:04 UTC

unprofessional nurse

2025-12-01 22:46:56 UTC

The nurse could have introduced herself, then explained the plan

2025-12-02 04:30:50 UTC

Nurse was rude with both the words and tone she used with the patient which lead to the patient not being cooperative.

RN should have asked if pt wanted a gown

2025-12-02 07:15:44 UTC

2025-12-02 08:51:50 UTC

nurse could have explained it in a better way

2025-12-02 15:30:03 UTC

She raised her voice which comes across as confrontational

The patient did not like being told what to do. The RN should have changed her tone and explain why he should change into the gown.

2025-12-02 15:33:51 UTC

2025-12-02 17:58:35 UTC

The nurse was very demanding and had no empathy for the patient. She needed to communicate more effectively and compassionately. He should have been asked politely and respectively to place the gown on. She should have explained the reason for the gown and if he continued to refuse, she should have kindly asked him what his opposition was. She made the situation escalate further by threatening him. There are many things she should have done differently.

2025-12-02 19:37:00 UTC

The nurse didn't do anything to help the situation. She could have explained why she needed him to change into a gown and asked him nicely. The patient always has an option. She also didn't need to threaten security.

2025-12-02 19:55:52 UTC

The patient seemed irritated and disinterested with the nurse escalating the situation by coming off as bossy and rude. That ultimately led to the nurse being unsuccessful in getting the patient in his gown while also potentially likely making it more of a challenge to get him in a gown when attempted again.

What went wrong

2025-12-02 22:37:51 UTC

Nurse was demanding and shrill rather than open and accommodating.

Nurse was very bossy and unprofessional.

2025-12-02 23:26:52 UTC

2025-12-02 23:35:35 UTC

So demanding!

2025-12-03 02:03:15 UTC

The patient probably though the nurse was not very nice. And the nurse might be overworked and stressed to be speaking that way.

2025-12-03 04:14:03 UTC

The nurse lacked compassion, empathy, and walked in with the wrong attitude and body language.

What was the patient thinking?

2025-12-03 07:43:40 UTC

I'm sure that the patient was thinking that this nurse was immediately rude, bossing him around, and he didn't have to do anything she asked him to do simply because he was being "told" to do something like a parent to a child instead of "asking" him and explaining calmly why.

2025-12-03 15:50:43 UTC

EXPLAINING is everything.

2025-12-03 18:02:11 UTC

It could have been handled more professionally.

the nurse came off very threatening

2025-12-03 18:09:51 UTC

2025-12-03 19:02:31 UTC

Staff response was unprofessional

2025-12-03 23:33:18 UTC

The patient didnt want to be there and seemed like they wanted to leave. They didnt want to get into the gown especially when the nurse was being very brisk about it.

Scenario ended poorly with no compromise. Nurse was very demanding and rude to the patient and offered no explanation, the patient was not willing to co-operate either.

2025-12-04 00:31:29 UTC

2025-12-04 16:39:51 UTC

not offering options

You can't make me.

2025-12-04 17:19:47 UTC

The nurse thought she was in charge.

The nurse escalated the situation.

The patient did not cooperate.

Rude

2025-12-04 20:18:22 UTC

I'm talking about the nurse here. She was just very rude, disrespectful and full of her own self worth.

She did nothing to help the situation.

The patient should have at least tried to do what she wanted, so nurse was only about 98% of the problem.

She should have used basic manners, introduced herself, asked for him to put on a gown and then explained why it was needed when the patient asked.

Yes

2025-12-04 22:17:59 UTC

2025-12-04 22:49:48 UTC

The nurse was wanting to get her job done and didn't want to be questioned. She immediately went to threats when he wouldn't immediately comply.

2025-12-05 00:13:54 UTC

nurse shouldnt have argued

Nurse demanding

2025-12-05 10:34:20 UTC

patient was rude, but nurse was aggressive

2025-12-05 19:28:52 UTC

2025-12-06 00:27:12 UTC

autonomy needs to be given

2025-12-06 20:12:33 UTC

The whole scenario was bad. The pt was not given any choices or explanation. The nurse went straight to threatening security.

2025-12-06 20:35:16 UTC

RN needs to explain protocol

More therapeutic words needed

2025-12-07 08:59:58 UTC

The nurse did not do much to help the situation. She was demanding and abrasive. She could have asked nicely and the pt might have been more willing to put the gown on. I think the pt was matching the nurse's tone.

2025-12-08 16:58:18 UTC

Lack of communication

2025-12-08 21:33:56 UTC

The nurse was too agressive and bossy

2025-12-08 21:42:30 UTC

PCA was short with the patient and did not describe why he needed to change into the gown.

2025-12-09 09:39:38 UTC

The nurse's tone was rude and she did not ask she told him and threatened him.

nurse tried to force the pt into doing something he didn't want to

2025-12-09 17:20:40 UTC

patient was defiant and it ended badly because the nurse didn't give him options

2025-12-09 18:50:51 UTC

Patient was irritated, Nurse was forcing the patient not asking, Nurse escalates patient. Ending poorly from the start.

2025-12-09 19:05:57 UTC

2025-12-09 20:26:11 UTC

The nurse didn't have a calm tone. And in the end the patient was upset and refused to do what was asked.

2025-12-09 21:48:38 UTC

The nurse was probably thinking I'm busy and don't have time for this but her way of interacting was not helpful. She could have asked in a nicer way and explained to the patient why he needed to wear the gown.

2025-12-10 02:48:11 UTC

This scenario was less than ideal for both sides. I believe that the nurse was annoyed and was trying to get the patient into the gown. However, she didn't express a why and the need to get into the gown. If she had the patient might have been more wiling and understanding of the policy. There was also no options given when he said no. Perhaps like lets do XYZ first then get in a gown or I can come back in 10 minutes and see if you're ready for a gown.

2025-12-10 16:36:48 UTC

Staff gave no choice just demands.

2025-12-10 21:43:09 UTC

The nurse was not patient with the patient.

2025-12-11 03:06:02 UTC

DONT BE MEAN

2025-12-11 03:26:02 UTC

the patient was thinking "who is this lady and how dare she tell me what to do."

2025-12-11 09:38:02 UTC

I think the patient, does not want to take of his "uniform" or "identity" and to wear something that strips him of said identity.

Staff member was to direct with patient, left no options.

2025-12-11 10:26:47 UTC

2025-12-11 12:52:53 UTC

I think that the patient was thinking how disrespectful the nurse was. Her tone, and not giving him options might have been triggering for him.

SHE DID NADA

2025-12-11 14:27:47 UTC

2025-12-11 21:16:09 UTC

Patient wasn't paying attention and nurse was rude and abrupt.

2025-12-12 03:08:48 UTC

true

The nurse was overly rude to start with.

2025-12-12 03:54:57 UTC

2025-12-12 05:52:08 UTC

Pt was busy on phone, didn't want to be bothered. Nurse was in a hurry.

Was it most important to undress? She could have told him for the MRI etc - otherwise, was it necessary?

talking while patient on phone

2025-12-12 16:21:58 UTC

2025-12-12 19:36:29 UTC

she didn't do anything to help the situation.

2025-12-12 21:22:08 UTC

she was very demanding

2025-12-12 21:32:16 UTC

PT was likely annoyed/embarrassed to have to change, and the nurse did not adapt to his resistance

2025-12-13 06:15:49 UTC

A negative tone will likely lead to a negative response.

Energy

2025-12-13 19:44:44 UTC

Pt responded w/ the same energy the RN brought into the situation

The nurse demanded the patient get in the gown without any explanation and then threatened to call security to "help" him get in the gown when he pushed back.

2025-12-14 06:10:50 UTC

the nurse had attitude

2025-12-14 10:56:37 UTC

poor approach by nurse

2025-12-15 00:05:33 UTC

couple of thoughts

2025-12-15 01:10:36 UTC

Nurse was rude/negative, could of expressed themselves much better to get favorable outcome

the pt was thinking, no one is going to tell me what to do

Not clear communication

2025-12-15 06:35:35 UTC

The nurse authoritative approach with patients tends to generate similar responses in return

2025-12-15 16:54:18 UTC

2025-12-15 19:48:33 UTC

The patient probably thought the nurse was unprofessional and bossy. The nurse probably thought the patient was rude. Talk to the patient with respect and not like property.

2025-12-15 21:36:17 UTC

The nurse is bossy.

The patient is taking up all my time.

2025-12-16 01:44:57 UTC

body stance

2025-12-16 09:33:55 UTC

Different tone and attitude

I think the nurse could have been more compassionate and explanatory about needing to wear a gown, which hopefully wouldn't have escalated the situation. She also threatened to call security at the drop of a hat, which could probably make someone feel agitated and scared.

2025-12-16 18:00:27 UTC

voice tones and explaining what you need and why helps patients to understand.

2025-12-16 20:27:45 UTC

Aggressive

2025-12-16 21:00:00 UTC

The RN was aggressive, impatient, and demanding. This comes of unprofessional, and forceful which validates the patients reaction.

2025-12-16 21:55:02 UTC

both parties seemed irritated

2025-12-16 22:27:44 UTC

the patient didn't understand why he needed to put a gown and increased resistance when the nurse got forceful. The nurse just wanted to get on with her job. The nurse did not help the situation by telling the patient he had to because she said so.

2025-12-16 22:44:17 UTC

What went wrong

2025-12-16 22:46:09 UTC

patient did not understand what was needed of him.

the nurse should've been calmer and offered the patient a choice. She should've explained the purpose of the gown too rather than just saying "because I said so"

2025-12-19 23:09:12 UTC

2025-12-20 02:27:50 UTC

The Nurse needed to talk to the patient better. Be more clear on what she wanted and ask the patient not tell.

2025-12-20 05:29:15 UTC

no communication

Excuse me

2025-12-20 18:44:04 UTC

The whole conversation is terrible

What went wrong?

2025-12-21 04:52:14 UTC

The nurse didn't provide a valid reason for the patient to change into the gown, thus the patient refused. The nurse also started off with a very rude remark "Because I'm your nurse and I asked you too", which would upset most people as they're both adults, not a child and an adult.

2025-12-21 05:29:17 UTC

nurse demanding, patient defient

2025-12-21 15:28:52 UTC

The nurse did not do anything to help the situation, it escalated very quickly, and she threatened the patient by saying she will call security.

2025-12-21 18:28:55 UTC

The nurse was being rude for no reason and the patient was not approach in a good manner.

Nurse was abrasive and demanding, did not provide reasoning or respect to the pt about the reasons for the gown change.

Rude

2025-12-22 23:29:44 UTC

2025-12-23 04:17:28 UTC

THE NURSE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD BED SIDE MANNER RESULTING IN LEAVING THE PATIENT CONFUSED AND UPSET.

That didn't work

2025-12-23 15:45:27 UTC

He didn't change and is less likely to do so than when she started.

What did the nurse do to try to help the situation?

2025-12-23 20:07:29 UTC

She didn't help the situation at all, instead did the opposite and demanded the patient to put the gown on and posted a threat to call security if he doesn't.

It ended in the same place as it started, with the patient not in the gown. Instead of threatening with title and security, the nurse could have asked the patient why he didn't want to put it on, and if that didn't get them anywhere, then proceeded to use an alternate approach.

2025-12-23 21:15:08 UTC

she was being impatient and rude

2025-12-23 23:22:13 UTC

2025-12-24 00:30:19 UTC

The nurse was making demands and treating the patient like a child. She should have asked instead of commanded.

RN's attutude

2025-12-24 09:56:14 UTC

2025-12-24 18:10:19 UTC

The patient felt that the RN was rude and bossy. This single encounter could determine patient's opinion of their entire hospital stay.

2025-12-24 19:44:23 UTC

the RN should have been more understanding.

2025-12-24 22:45:51 UTC

i agree

2025-12-25 08:52:53 UTC

the patient wanted to find out why he needed to change into a gown, which was not thoughtfully explained by the nurse

this nurse is rude

2025-12-26 11:28:11 UTC

I think it was the way the nurse spoke to the patient and escalated to calling security just to change into a gown

2025-12-26 16:27:42 UTC

Bad Communication

2025-12-26 16:34:48 UTC

staff patient communication is poor

Nurse's tone was too aggressive

2025-12-26 23:32:43 UTC

2025-12-27 21:23:58 UTC

The nurse did not have the right tone, nor did she ask the patient if she could put the gown on him.

asking

2025-12-28 03:03:44 UTC

A kind approach and empathy toward what the patient is feeling goes a long way.

The nurse was very overpowering and demanding.

2025-12-28 03:42:13 UTC

2025-12-28 18:12:42 UTC

patient was probably thinking, "She can't tell me what to do"

2025-12-28 18:58:12 UTC

too busy

How did it end?

2025-12-28 21:59:43 UTC

Based on the patient's tone and irritability, the scenario did not end up well. The nurse should have explained why the patient needed to put the gown on. Her tone set the mood for the scenario at the beginning.

2025-12-28 23:32:15 UTC

aggreed

2025-12-29 02:20:36 UTC

the nurse escalated the situation by saying ill get security instead of trying to talk to the patient and see things from his point of view

2025-12-29 02:26:11 UTC

Explanation should have follower patients rebuttal. but should also let the patient know that the procedure cannot be done in street clothing. nurse was having a bad day too.

2025-12-29 10:14:56 UTC

nurse needs to talk to pt in a respectful & calm manner.

2025-12-29 11:21:55 UTC

I think that the nurse could have used better therapeutic communication with the patient.

2025-12-29 15:21:07 UTC

kno

2025-12-29 15:21:23 UTC

2025-12-29 15:21:42 UTC

yes

2025-12-29 17:23:55 UTC

She ordered him rather than ask

2025-12-29 17:45:07 UTC

Be nicer

2025-12-29 19:02:16 UTC

Explain more

2025-12-29 22:04:24 UTC

what went wrong was the nurse was very rude and forceful. she threatened the patient with security and the patient refused therefore escalating the situation.

PATIENT WAS FEELING UNHEARD

2025-12-29 22:31:24 UTC

RN DIDN'T HELP, DIDN'T ASK QUESTIONS OR ANSWER QUESTIONS

Discussion

2025-12-30 12:06:05 UTC

Nurse didn't explain why the intervention was required and immediately escalated to threatening security if patient didn't comply, causing patient to respond with resistance.

Discussion

2025-12-30 15:23:09 UTC

I think the patient was feeling forced into something he did not want to do nor have any explanation as to why he had to do it.

Seems like the nurse was tired and agitated with her job.

The nurse did nothing to help

Both the patient and the nurse were upset, and both parties were not happy.

There was no explanation and the entire situation was so forced.

2025-12-30 15:37:25 UTC

The patient was not told why he needed to be in a gown. Knowing why would help with understanding and compliance.

Both the patient and RN could have acted differently. The RN should have been kinder and the patient should have been interested in his care.

2025-12-30 17:25:45 UTC

the situation was approached with no kindness or care, the nurse was probably thinking that she has 20,000 things to do and she doesnt have time for this man on his phone.

2025-12-30 17:42:46 UTC

2025-12-30 19:58:51 UTC

THE NURSE WAS AGGRESSIVE AND DEMANDING

2025-12-30 21:09:59 UTC

both were irritated

2025-12-30 22:26:29 UTC

The Nurse should set up a healthy therapeutic communication and always watch the tone when speaking to patient, colleague or any other employee. Also explanation of procedure what we going to do and the reason for the procedure should be clear.

power struggle

2025-12-31 00:03:30 UTC

2025-12-31 01:11:23 UTC

kindness works

Patient is thinking, don't tell me what to do!

2025-12-31 02:59:37 UTC

What did the nurse do wrong?

2025-12-31 03:51:30 UTC

She did not empathize or reason with the patient.

rude, rushing, telling him what to do

2025-12-31 15:22:58 UTC

2025-12-31 16:21:45 UTC

yay

The nurse did not communicate respectfully.

2025-12-31 17:00:05 UTC

2025-12-31 20:14:27 UTC

The patient probably would have liked explanation on why he had to change, and maybe a nicer tone from the nurse would have helped.

2025-12-31 21:01:23 UTC

She was rude and told the patient what to do and then threatened to call security.

2025-12-31 21:35:34 UTC

Nurse was ordering patient not politely asking

Nurse was rude and aggressive and demanding

2025-12-31 21:38:52 UTC

something beautiful

2026-01-01 01:51:01 UTC

2026-01-01 05:00:50 UTC

The nurse could have explained the reasons for why it would be easier for the physical exam if the pt changed into a gown

2026-01-01 16:28:09 UTC

communicating more positively could have led to a better outcome

The patient was angry

2026-01-01 17:23:37 UTC

The nurse did not use therapeutic communication and was quite rude, I empathize with the patient.

2026-01-01 23:15:24 UTC

goood

2026-01-02 00:12:16 UTC

The RN was bossy and rude.

2026-01-02 00:50:20 UTC

nurse was not talking professionally to the patient.

What went wrong

2026-01-02 02:04:07 UTC

In this scenario the nurse was not understanding of how the patient might feel, you can tell how she was not feeling her best or had other places to be and things to do, which made her rush the patient without any need for care. The patient asked a simple "why" and got backlash, which is unprofessional and wrong.

2026-01-02 02:35:35 UTC

nurse was giving orders instead of asking and her body language was not friendly. They did not have the patient's full attention and did not explain the reasoning why they were giving orders.

Nurse was pushy

2026-01-02 11:59:43 UTC

The nurse was pushy with the pt

Ask , don't demand

2026-01-02 15:44:15 UTC

2026-01-02 17:03:04 UTC

Nurse is doing to much

What went wrong?

2026-01-02 17:44:43 UTC

The nurse was demanding and abrasive which agitated the patient.

the nurse shouldn't have escalated the situation so quickly by threatening to get security involved so early on. she should have talked about the importance of why he needs to put on a gown

2026-01-02 18:03:40 UTC

2026-01-02 18:32:38 UTC

You should never ever tell a patient they need to do something.

Defensive

2026-01-03 00:50:52 UTC

The nurse responded very defensively and threatened security if the patient did not comply into changing.

Gridlock! The patient dug in his heels and remained stubborn and uncooperative.

2026-01-03 04:02:32 UTC

What did the nurse do to try to help the situation?

2026-01-03 09:08:15 UTC

The patient was not sure why he had to get into a gown.

2026-01-03 12:59:35 UTC

give the patient options

2026-01-03 17:18:41 UTC

2026-01-03 18:53:57 UTC

Maybe the conversation could have gone better.

2026-01-03 20:42:38 UTC

patient was not treated with respect, the nurse was giving commands, rather than working with the patient

no thank you

2026-01-03 23:16:06 UTC

why is he being difficult

2026-01-03 23:16:30 UTC

2026-01-04 12:33:22 UTC

Agreed

2026-01-05 17:29:57 UTC

they felt like they were losing control

Power play

2026-01-05 18:00:23 UTC

The nurse tried to assert herself immediately and the patient resisted

Patient very consumed in phone instead of what the nurse is instructing him to do

2026-01-05 18:14:54 UTC

if the nurse used a better tone, it might make the situation better

2026-01-05 19:37:46 UTC

nmnm

2026-01-05 20:27:41 UTC

2026-01-05 21:23:50 UTC

I think the pt was wondering why they have to chg

I think the nurse was tired and rude and didnt care what the pt wanted or was thinking

Nothing

Not good

All of it

Didn't listen to the patient at all to address his concerns

2026-01-05 21:28:00 UTC

2026-01-05 22:10:50 UTC

A simple explanation from the nurse would have changed the whole scenario around.

what went wrong

2026-01-05 23:03:17 UTC

instead of explaining why, the nurse went straight towards the power trip

The nurse was not setting a professional tone with the patient and gave off the energy of not working with them, but rather adding on to the patients energy.

2026-01-05 23:38:45 UTC

2026-01-05 23:39:49 UTC

Nurse demanded and made threats to try and get compliance from the patient.

patient thought process

2026-01-06 17:57:25 UTC

need clarification

It went wrong when the nurse didn't engage him as a person first, assess the situation or build any rapport.

2026-01-06 18:08:18 UTC

2026-01-06 18:21:47 UTC

The nurse gave no choices, was rude and entitled.

2026-01-06 19:46:15 UTC

Aggressive much nurse?

2026-01-06 19:56:43 UTC

Lack of clear communication

The patient was thinking nurse was on a power trip, and nurse was taking her frustrations out on patient and the nurse did not try to do anything to "help" the situation. It ended with nothing accomplished except a frustration all around

2026-01-06 19:57:48 UTC

2026-01-06 21:31:26 UTC

There is no proper commmunication

2026-01-06 22:02:39 UTC

The nurse could have had a softer tone of voice when asking. Also explaining better why a gown is needed could have been more beneficial than saying I am the nurse and said so.

She was too abrasive

2026-01-06 23:08:28 UTC

2026-01-06 23:58:46 UTC

She could have kept it much lighter

2026-01-07 00:58:14 UTC

She was short and did not listen to the patient

2026-01-07 02:25:16 UTC

Patient was not present in the situation-attention was on his phone. He clearly was not in an amicable mindset nor did he want to be told what had to do.

Nurse could have been thinking, "I don't have time for this, just get the gown on."

The nurse tried to "help" the situation by giving an ultimatum of calling security.

It ended with a stand-off.

Things went wrong when the communication was intended to maintain control instead of to understand and offer choice.

The nurse was feeling stressed.

2026-01-07 02:37:28 UTC

no respect or patience for the patient

2026-01-07 06:10:50 UTC

2026-01-07 07:43:52 UTC

the pt was probably thinking that the nurse was being bossy and very rude. Her tone automatically came off not aggressive

From the start, she should have explained why he needs to get in the gown. It always helps to know what is going on

2026-01-07 08:29:10 UTC

2026-01-07 10:11:14 UTC

The nurse didn't answer when he asked why. She just threatened to call security.

poor communication skills, very negative approach

2026-01-07 16:12:07 UTC

2026-01-07 18:16:40 UTC

the nurse was compassionate

2026-01-07 18:17:05 UTC

food

What was the patient thinking

2026-01-07 19:17:33 UTC

The nurse was demanding and rude.

the nurse did not build a good repour so he now doesnt care what she has to say

2026-01-07 19:28:45 UTC

2026-01-07 23:05:36 UTC

lack of information to the patient. nurse did not help situation by demanding pt to follow direction.

the nurse set the tone for a bad interaction from the beginning

2026-01-07 23:44:09 UTC

Discuss!

2026-01-08 00:40:12 UTC

The patient could have been embarrassed or shy to change into the gown. The nurse was abrupt and unpleasant. She did not try to help the situation and helped escalate emotions. There were many steps the nurse could have taken.

No explanation from nurse. Nurse sounded a bit hostile and lacked reverence

2026-01-08 01:01:51 UTC

2026-01-08 02:55:57 UTC

If I were the patient in that situation after being told they would get security I would have replied, "wow you offer that kind of service here?" The nurse though of course was the main person in the wrong and should have worded the request nicer.

2026-01-08 17:17:17 UTC

Asking rather than telling gets better results

The nurse needed to explain why he needed a gown. He asked a valid question.

2026-01-08 17:18:41 UTC

They are being forced to do something against their will.

2026-01-08 19:09:13 UTC

When the statement is made that a person has no choice they may feel backed into a corner and respond aggressively.

The nurse was rude and didn’t explain why was going on or why the patient needed to get in a gown. Her bedside manner needs extreme improvement.

2026-01-09 05:14:09 UTC

2026-01-09 09:02:16 UTC

Treat people the way you want to be treated.

2026-01-09 16:40:23 UTC

the nurse gave no options to the patient

2026-01-09 17:06:19 UTC

This is the worst communication I've ever seen

Bad approach on all fronts

2026-01-09 17:40:45 UTC

2026-01-09 17:55:22 UTC

The nurse was too aggressive in her request.

2026-01-09 19:05:25 UTC

patient was told and a threat was made by the nurse

2026-01-09 19:36:09 UTC

Not a helpful approach

2026-01-10 15:44:49 UTC

nurse was not being polite

The pt was probably thinking, how dare this nurse try to tell me what to do. I will not do it!

2026-01-10 18:23:43 UTC

2026-01-10 23:23:00 UTC

pt probably felt he had no control.

2026-01-12 04:09:38 UTC

It was negative from the start and it lead to a negative situation.

Aggressive tone, demanding

2026-01-12 16:31:22 UTC

Patient treatment and Reaction

2026-01-12 16:43:46 UTC

The nurse had zero bedside manner, the patient would have been more likely to comply if she had a different approach

2026-01-12 17:22:18 UTC

What went wrong was the nurse was simply demanding rather than asking professionally and respectfully to start out, then threatening with security before trying other alternatives to make the situation better.

Tuff

2026-01-12 17:34:16 UTC

Patient was probably really thrown off by the situation I think the nurse figured he would just go with it and comply with no further explanation needed, I think it ended really poorly for both parties

2026-01-12 17:42:18 UTC

The nurse was in a rush the patient felt like he was being treated like a child she did not help the situation unless she left, he refused to gown up. The way she spoke to the patient is what went wrong

scenario response

2026-01-12 17:52:22 UTC

patient does not now of plan of care or length of stay. nurse is thinking patient should change into gown and get things done. nurse should have explain the care plan and asked reason for the refusal and reduce the tone of the nurse. this situation ends with tension and escalation.

2026-01-12 22:07:44 UTC

people don't feel good when they go to the hospital, apparently the nurse brought something from outside of work to the workplace.

The patient was most likely upset with the tone of the nurse and potentially embarrassed about having to get into a gown. The patient need a polite and calm tone of voice and an explanation as to why he needed to get into the gown.

2026-01-12 22:15:30 UTC

what do you think the patient was thinking

2026-01-12 22:44:48 UTC

The nurse didn't explain why he should wear a gown.

The nurse was forceful and did not explain the reasoning behind asking the patient to get into a gown.

2026-01-12 22:48:58 UTC

2026-01-13 00:40:56 UTC

the patient stated that they didn't want to get into a gown, but also the nurse responded in a non compassionante way

kl

2026-01-13 16:44:53 UTC

2026-01-13 17:08:57 UTC

Nurse didn't properly explain why the gown was needed and the patient already seemed resistant

2026-01-13 17:27:51 UTC

don't tell me what to do.

RN should of explained more kindly

she did nothing

The nurse was rude and demanding and definitely could have had a different approach which could have had a different outcome.

2026-01-13 18:13:04 UTC

nurse was demanding

2026-01-13 18:51:04 UTC

no explanation given

2026-01-13 19:10:57 UTC

2026-01-13 20:30:09 UTC

Patient thinking the nurse is bothering them. Nurse just wants the patient to hurry up and change.

free

2026-01-13 21:47:12 UTC

The nurse was very cold and demanding. He felt like he had no say with his own body, if she would have asked him nicely with more respect this could have gone very differently with a better outcome.

2026-01-14 01:15:07 UTC

the nurse was using phrases that would escalate the situation. She didn't help at all

2026-01-14 05:26:02 UTC

The nurse told the patient what to do rather than ask and used an aggressive tone.

2026-01-14 10:12:45 UTC

Patient was most likely uncomfortable. She could of asked instead of told him. There are a few things that she could of done differently

2026-01-14 15:34:02 UTC

Rude and aggressive nurse

2026-01-14 16:43:57 UTC

2026-01-14 18:42:42 UTC

the pt was thinking "i dont want to change. i am very busy and dont have time for that. getting changed into a gown doesnt make sense"

she needed to chill

2026-01-14 19:07:01 UTC

2026-01-14 20:09:57 UTC

2026-01-14 21:00:24 UTC

He had not received communication that he would need to gown up, he doesn't know the plan?

The nurse should explain why the patient needs to get into the gown instead of damanding

2026-01-14 21:11:23 UTC

The nurse should've asked nicely instead of ordering the patient.

2026-01-14 23:08:42 UTC

2026-01-14 23:57:34 UTC

the nurse was giving order and not really explaining a lot and seem to be in a bad mood

patient was disagreeable

Being respectful is helpful.

patient

2026-01-15 16:29:06 UTC

patient was angry and the niurse didnt handle it well

2026-01-15 17:51:58 UTC

Nurse used harsh and controlling tone

The nurse was thinking he should hurry up and also get off the phone.

2026-01-15 18:30:55 UTC

2026-01-15 19:14:41 UTC

The nurse was being too assertive and it caught the patient off guard

The Patient

2026-01-15 23:09:08 UTC

The patient may have felt they had no autonomy in the situation and explaining why it is necessary to be in a gown and allowing privacy may deescalate the situation.

Miscommunication

2026-01-16 02:54:58 UTC

Nurse didn't explain that why it's important to change to gown.

2026-01-16 06:49:07 UTC

The nurse was probably busy and had other patients to care for. The nurse did not help the situation by not giving any choices or explanation for the need for a gown. They both ended up frustrated.

2026-01-16 07:41:53 UTC

always be respectful

2026-01-16 07:46:12 UTC

always be respectful to

Communication is key

2026-01-16 09:15:55 UTC

It wasn't right what she did.

2026-01-16 20:03:19 UTC

Power

2026-01-16 21:05:06 UTC

The nurse threatened to have security make the patient change instead of offering options and respecting the patient's needs.

2026-01-16 23:20:15 UTC

The nurse wanted to directly address what she needed the patient to do.

nurse was short and did not explain why. Pt was more interested in his phone than in what he was there for

2026-01-17 01:16:46 UTC

the nurse did nothing to help the situation. she did not communicate effectively and could have been having a bad day herself.

2026-01-17 01:47:11 UTC

2026-01-17 21:30:00 UTC

she's not explaining why and she's demanding he be placed in a gown treating him like a child. she should explain how being in a gown help with vitals and leads if he needs that and why it makes things easier and it's needed and then allow him to have option like stay in his underwear or even in his pants if that would make him more comfortable. patients have the right to refuse you can't demand something you have to ask and explain why.

2026-01-18 18:14:28 UTC

explain to pt what is needed

2026-01-19 00:44:55 UTC

explain

2026-01-19 00:48:51 UTC

2026-01-19 04:13:13 UTC

The patient was thinking he just wanted to get out of there.

The nurse just wants to get her job done and get out of there.

2026-01-19 05:43:32 UTC

Patient was feeling attacked.

2026-01-19 17:32:58 UTC

The patient was probably thinking that he did not have to wear a gown, and no one could force him to do otherwise. Not even security.

2026-01-19 18:01:00 UTC

pt did not agree

2026-01-19 18:25:11 UTC

Patient

2026-01-19 20:09:03 UTC

He seemed agreeable

2026-01-19 20:10:12 UTC

Clear communication with dignity and respect for the patient would change the outcome.

would have asked different

2026-01-19 20:23:19 UTC

be safe

2026-01-19 21:27:35 UTC

be safe

What do you think the patient was thinking?

2026-01-20 01:25:15 UTC

The patient is already probably feeling uncomfortable about being asked to get into a gown without a reason why, and feeling that the nurse is being hostile for no reason. Making the patient feel unsafe.

2026-01-20 02:41:56 UTC

the nurse was very bossy

2026-01-20 02:45:33 UTC

The pt responded to the nurse based on how he was treated. Respect would have been a nice starting point for the nurse.

The nurse could have responded differently.

2026-01-20 06:34:45 UTC

AGREED

2026-01-20 08:03:25 UTC

2026-01-20 17:12:27 UTC

staff was bossy, upsetting the pt

Nurse was very condescending.

2026-01-20 21:39:19 UTC

2026-01-21 01:04:08 UTC

Agreed.

2026-01-21 05:29:54 UTC

the patient could be wondering why he has to change into the gown

She went in there ready for an argument. Doesn't really matter how unpleasant he was, she created a power struggle immediately.

2026-01-21 08:44:50 UTC

2026-01-21 17:12:08 UTC

'lk;'k

The nurse did not communicate kindly/respectfully which only increased the patient's irritibility and resistance.

2026-01-21 19:29:08 UTC

2026-01-21 21:12:27 UTC

The nurse was likely thinking that the pt was just being argumentative, but approached the situation the wrong way.

Patient's thinking this idiot nurse didn't have her morning coffee.

2026-01-21 22:00:59 UTC

2026-01-21 23:13:35 UTC

patient was disagreeable

Body Language

2026-01-22 07:41:17 UTC

Patient was already showing defensive body language having his arms crossed.

2026-01-22 18:07:40 UTC

Need to speak differently to patient and give him options and explain why you need him to get in a gown. Immediately saying you are going to call security is seen as a threat to the patient and will continue him escalating.

The nurse wasn't using appropriate communication with the patient.

2026-01-22 19:56:07 UTC

2026-01-22 20:28:56 UTC

nurse was bossy!

The nurse was disrespectful and demanding. She needs to relearn how to approach people.

2026-01-22 21:44:06 UTC

The nurse was probably frustrated

2026-01-22 22:18:33 UTC

Poor Behavior

2026-01-22 22:24:00 UTC

How did it end?

2026-01-23 00:03:15 UTC

He refused the demand.

2026-01-23 00:37:29 UTC

Pt didn't know what to think! He wasn't told a solid reason why he should change into the gown, wasn't asked politely, no clear communication. The patient could have been off his phone and the nurses tone and communication could have been better.

the nurse probably didn't like the fact that he was on the phone and not being compliant

2026-01-23 16:46:36 UTC

The nurse had a Broset Violence Score of at least 3.

2026-01-23 17:07:29 UTC

Pt felt like he was getting bossed around vs an explanation of the "why" he needed to get into a gown.

2026-01-23 17:41:46 UTC

Patient didn't understand and nurse wasn't empathetic with the patient and responded abrasive, setting the tone for the patient to respond.

2026-01-23 18:50:21 UTC

it ended poorly for both parties

2026-01-23 21:55:44 UTC

The nurse seemed impatient and pushy when the patient obviously was irritable... slowing down and giving the patient some compassion could help him be more agreeable. The pt was probably nervous or scared and that often comes out as disagreeable or irritable, especially in men who might not have ever learned that it's okay to show vulnerability.

2026-01-24 17:29:03 UTC

: (

2026-01-24 20:50:20 UTC

patient was upset being told what to do and threatened

2026-01-25 02:37:52 UTC

2026-01-25 04:16:05 UTC

Check the tone with which you talk to patients, and explain why something is being done.

nurse needs to change the tone of her voice.

2026-01-25 07:53:21 UTC

what went wrong

2026-01-25 22:19:48 UTC

The nurse didn't find out why the patient didn't want to change into the gown, she didn't provide a valid reason for changing into the gown and then she made a threat of calling security. This was not good communication

He didnt understand what was going on and why it qas necesarry and the nurse did not explaim

2026-01-25 23:41:21 UTC

The nurse treated the patient with disrespect. She did not treat me as a human...

2026-01-26 12:32:47 UTC

the nurse was combative right from the beginning, not calming to the patient

2026-01-26 15:40:16 UTC

The patient wasn't understanding the situation

2026-01-26 20:01:05 UTC

Better communication was needed

2026-01-26 21:03:02 UTC

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Job

2026-01-26 21:44:31 UTC

Nurse was doing her usual routine and the patient was preoccupied.

2026-01-26 22:25:01 UTC

The patient was triggered by the way the nurse approached him and was demanding and then threatening about changing into a gown. The nurse could have approached the patient with kindness and options available.

The following scenario:

2026-01-27 00:21:00 UTC

The patient was probably uneasy about the situation; the nurse was most likely stressed due to a plethora of factors (environment, personal, etc.); the nurse did not do anything productive to help the situation and instead added fuel to the fire; the situation ended unwell with both in high tensions; finally, the situation ended up so badly due to both the before and during argument states, with the after effects being that of uneasiness.

2026-01-27 05:53:17 UTC

Both the RN and the patient were irritated

Nurse should have explained why, offered privacy, asked the pt why they didn't want to change into the gown, established eye contact with pt, improved body language

2026-01-27 08:42:13 UTC

Nurse was giving commands instead of kindly asking patient to change into the gown.

2026-01-27 17:58:25 UTC

patient was inpatient

2026-01-27 19:11:12 UTC

Meeting a person with kindness makes it hard for them to stay mad for long. Patience.....

2026-01-27 20:03:42 UTC

The patient was thinking this appointment is a waste of his time.

2026-01-27 21:49:32 UTC

2026-01-27 22:23:00 UTC

The nurse was bossy, rather than asking the patient or telling them why

2026-01-27 23:55:10 UTC

she needs to explain the reason why.

2026-01-28 01:28:29 UTC

The nurse was very abrupt with the patient and did not allow for options

Communication

2026-01-28 01:44:27 UTC

The nurse's communication skills were lacking, she was aggressive in her approach

you have a nice smile

2026-01-28 15:06:07 UTC

the nurse was so short and snippy with him

2026-01-28 16:00:26 UTC

She's not very nice to him

2026-01-28 16:01:54 UTC

2026-01-28 19:04:16 UTC

escalated

the nurse needs to work on communication and professionalism

2026-01-28 20:15:36 UTC

2026-01-28 21:03:18 UTC

Needs to ask not tell and give reason for why will make situation better

2026-01-28 23:05:25 UTC

Who does the nurse think she is talking to?

What I think went wrong.

2026-01-29 00:13:35 UTC

Welp I will be honest, no one wants to be put in one of those unconfutable Victoria's Secret gowns, and the patient was probably thinking she's rude. I don't want to. I'm here for my sore toe. The Nurse was probably thinking I have a million things to do and I am behind and don't have time to argue with you. In this episode of As Trinity Health Turns, I do not think it ended well and could have become very violent if it was pushed more, and depending on the patient state of mind. Or if he is not physically presenting with visual symptoms, like fever.

I think if she "just asked" Mr Patient to please change into a gown so the Physician can get a proper exam, or was more friendly and compassionate, he might be more tolerable to completing the task.

2026-01-29 01:54:16 UTC

The nurse should have rationalized that to the patient in a more respectful manner

not explaining the 'why'

2026-01-29 14:36:56 UTC

Yes, the patient was disrespectful but the nurse was bossy and rude right away and did not explain to the patient why she needed him to change into the gown

The nurse was short and was not communicating properly to the patient why he needed to put a gown on

2026-01-29 16:43:51 UTC

2026-01-29 19:31:38 UTC

2026-01-29 23:36:21 UTC

This situation ended in a stalemate. It is a good example of the previous slide that states "resistance breeds resistance."

The RN could have probably singlehandedly turned that situation around simply by changing her tone of voice and body language.

He probably thought there was no reason behind it.

2026-01-30 00:31:39 UTC

What went wrong is the Tone.

2026-01-30 01:51:10 UTC

The nurse could have asked whether the patient wanted to put on the gown now or later, offering options and being less threatening.

2026-01-30 03:40:28 UTC

The nurse spoke to the patient very harshly, which added to the patients anxiety and frustration.

Nurse was short and blunt with the patient who responded defensively

2026-01-30 12:06:01 UTC

2026-01-30 14:00:03 UTC

The nurse should of interduced herself when she walked into the room and ask the patient how he was feeling and asked to please put on the gown so they can do what they need to do to help him with his health

2026-01-30 16:46:24 UTC

The patient may have felt disrespected from the tone of the nurse when being told that he has to change into the gown. Something that could have prevented this was to let the patient know that they would need to wear a gown soon and if they would need some privacy instead of threatening to call for security which could escalate the situation further.

Nurse's tone is demanding

2026-01-30 17:28:14 UTC

2026-01-30 17:29:27 UTC

The nurse was being unprofessional and demanding

Nurse could've been a little more respectful

2026-01-30 18:39:12 UTC

be professional

2026-01-30 19:32:20 UTC

always

What do you think the nurse was thinking?

2026-01-30 21:55:34 UTC

The RN appeared to be in a hurry and irritable from whatever is triggering her that day.

2026-01-30 22:31:39 UTC

Nurse could have been kinder

the patient was thinking this appointment is a waste of time

2026-01-31 04:40:36 UTC

2026-02-01 07:20:55 UTC

The nurse was not able to build rapport with the patient.

2026-02-01 18:24:33 UTC

Wow,the nurse was way out of line

2026-02-01 19:04:54 UTC

agree

The nurse initiated the conversation with a demand, no question and did not provide a valuable explanation for why he needed a gown

2026-02-01 21:57:14 UTC

2026-02-02 01:37:15 UTC

The patient might have been uncomfortable or embarrassed while the nurse just wanted to get her job done quickly. The nurse was rude and spoke with a tone which did not help the situation. Overall this was an unsuccessful attempt at getting the patient into a gown.

2026-02-02 16:24:40 UTC

I think that patient was very nervous and was only acting out in anger because they were scared. Anger is a secondary emotion to fear. I feel like the nurse became very demanding as a defense mechanism or because she is nervous. The nurse definitely gone about the entire situation in a more positive and assertive approach. It ended up not ending well as both the nurse and patient were upset and defensive. I think what went wrong is that the nurse went into the situation fearful so she tried to portray a more demanding and intimidating person which only made the patient even more uneasy which caused him to act out.

I believe the RN set the entire tone right out the gate.

2026-02-02 16:45:19 UTC

The patient probably was uncomfortable being asked by a woman to do this and probably preferred privacy. They also just needed a simple answer as to why. The nurse did not address this and that led to him questioning her authority

2026-02-02 18:59:54 UTC

2026-02-02 19:12:36 UTC

patient probably felt stressed about the situation, rushed, like they didn't want to be there. Nurse was thinking they were being difficult and they had other things they needed to get done.

2026-02-02 20:53:37 UTC

The situation was escalated very wuickly when an explanation would hae helped.

2026-02-02 21:56:00 UTC

the nurse was probably thinking of all the other things she had to do and that she just needed the pt to listen to her so she could do her job.

the tone and her demanding attitude made him very defensive. he has a right to ask why he has to do something, and some expectation to be treated with respect. I always ask the patient if they are willing to do something and if not, they are an adult and can refuse.

2026-02-03 06:41:51 UTC

2026-02-03 09:00:58 UTC

Give people options to choose from.

Nurse was rude

2026-02-03 16:11:52 UTC

nurse should have told patient why he needs to change. Her response to the patient asking why was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I wouldn’t have appreciated being spoken to this way either. We don’t know why he needed to get changed either, what if she was wrong and he didn’t actually need to change? We’re assuming she has a good reason to tell him to change because we work in healthcare, buuut healthcare professionals make mistakes all the time. He has a right to know what’s going on and not be treated like his rights don’t matter.

2026-02-03 21:55:19 UTC

the nurse sounded threatening

2026-02-04 01:33:42 UTC

The patient did not seem interested in participating in his care. The nurse was disrespectful and condescending.

2026-02-04 09:14:12 UTC

No captions on video.

He could've been dealing with an already stressful situation and then she continued to be demanding and rude.

2026-02-04 11:24:37 UTC

2026-02-04 15:28:38 UTC

attitude and demands

The nurse did not ask, she told the patient what to do wich is disrespecting the patient.

2026-02-04 15:40:15 UTC

The patient was Confused

2026-02-04 22:51:09 UTC

What went Wrong?

- The nurse did not explain why the patient should change into a gaon, and when the patient asked why should I change into a gaon, her answer was because she is the nurse and she wants him to do that.

2026-02-04 23:01:41 UTC

The nurse was very short and demanding and did not try to offer the patient options or calm the situation

2026-02-04 23:46:01 UTC

the nurse didnt show respect

The nurse did not approach the patient with respect and was authoritative rather than collaborative.

2026-02-05 15:55:40 UTC

2026-02-05 17:21:51 UTC

lack of patience and respect from the nurse

2026-02-05 17:50:10 UTC

nurse was pretty authoritative without offering empathy or understanding. escalated without trying to compromise or offer more explanation

2026-02-05 18:13:13 UTC

patient had no idea why they needed to be in a hospital gown, nurse did not treat the patient respectfully.

2026-02-05 18:44:34 UTC

the nurse was too short and aggressive, and didn't explain anything to the patient

2026-02-05 19:22:03 UTC

The patient just wanted an explanation not a demand.

2026-02-05 20:26:26 UTC

Patient matched energy

2026-02-06 01:36:00 UTC

This patient was probably wondering why he has to get into a gown. The nurse was thinking that the patient didn't want to coopreate.

nurse attitude

2026-02-06 04:20:16 UTC

nurse bossy

pt care less

both with attitude

I think the patient did not like being ordered what to do without an explanation as to why he needed to change into a gown. The nurse was trying to make the patient change into a gown. The nurse didn't do anything to try to help the situation.

2026-02-06 08:31:26 UTC

The nurse was abrasive, and the patient was unwilling to comply. Bad combination and could escalate quickly

2026-02-06 15:04:09 UTC

2026-02-06 16:27:17 UTC

neither party handled the situation in the best way.

2026-02-07 01:28:49 UTC

An explanation is best for the procedure

The tone of the nurse was not professional.

2026-02-07 11:51:11 UTC

2026-02-08 08:35:41 UTC

Patient was disagreeable, nurse was pushy and rude. Nothing went well in this scenario

2026-02-09 16:52:29 UTC

Lack of respect by staff towards patient.

2026-02-09 17:40:54 UTC

No explanation by the nurse

Nurses tone of voice

2026-02-09 18:08:50 UTC

what went wrong?

2026-02-09 18:55:03 UTC

She was demanding the patient to do things and in a horrible tone.

2026-02-09 19:00:41 UTC

the provider demanded an action without explanation.

2026-02-09 19:06:59 UTC

Patient may have been thinking that he was being kept from doing something he wanted to do to be told of something he HAD to do.

Nurse was likely thinking she had a difficult patient to deal with. I don't feel like the nurse did much to help the situation. This didn't end well due to a power struggle.

the nurse was way too bossy

2026-02-09 19:32:06 UTC

2026-02-09 20:26:26 UTC

To me this interaction with the patient ended poorly. The main reason being that the patient may not trust or confide in the nurse as they may have felt threatened after the interaction.

2026-02-09 20:42:50 UTC

The nurse was inpatient and rude.

What went wrong?

2026-02-09 20:46:22 UTC

The nurse was demanding and rude which made the patient question her authority.

2026-02-09 22:14:51 UTC

Not providing options.

Nurse could have explained the "why" for the gown

2026-02-09 22:37:50 UTC

Both were pretty testy...

2026-02-09 23:26:39 UTC

2026-02-09 23:50:46 UTC

she didn't give a reason why

2026-02-10 16:31:05 UTC

The nurse came in demanding instead of explaining. Most anyone wouldn't do as demanded.

Nurse quickly resorted to threats rather than trying to understand the situation.

2026-02-10 20:09:05 UTC

thoughts

2026-02-10 20:37:09 UTC

always explain why..

2026-02-10 23:23:53 UTC

She was very aggressivwe. Patience and kindness are key

2026-02-11 00:50:02 UTC

yes

What went wrong

2026-02-11 01:32:54 UTC

The nurse was a bit aggressive and demanding and the patient didn't like it

The patient seemed distracted by outside obligations and unfamiliar with hospital procedures. The nurse was very calloused, blunt and forceful, most likely overwhelmed with workload. She did nothing to help the situation and inappropriately escalated the situation.

2026-02-11 10:43:40 UTC

RN was demanding & forcefully asking the patient to comply. Patient was visibly preoccupied.

2026-02-11 15:18:59 UTC

The patient felt pressured into doing something without giving a why or apparent choice

2026-02-11 22:31:15 UTC

the patient could have been embarrassed and didn't know why he needed to change as it was not explained

2026-02-11 22:32:08 UTC

2026-02-12 04:08:22 UTC

nurse was demanding

Nurse was probably just trying to get going with the appointment but needed to ask nicer and have more patience.

2026-02-12 16:39:31 UTC

The nurse should have explained the reason for him to change into a gown.

2026-02-12 17:09:34 UTC

The nurse was short and didn't offer an explanation

2026-02-12 20:19:43 UTC

Communication

2026-02-13 01:02:14 UTC

There was no respect there from the nurse. Could have been handled a lot differently.

2026-02-13 01:04:40 UTC

Bad tone and approach

The Nurses Behavior

2026-02-13 04:04:33 UTC

The patient was probably taken off guard by the sudden demand to change into a gown.

The nurse was probably tired from a long day and impatient.

The nurse made the situation worse by saying she would call security.

The patient refused to get into a gown.

nurse had an aggressive tone

2026-02-13 06:26:39 UTC

The nurse was aggressive and controlling. No wonder she got the response she did from the patient.

2026-02-13 16:22:19 UTC

be respectful and give them the reason why instead of being rude

2026-02-13 18:22:47 UTC

she esclated by threating to get security

2026-02-13 21:35:28 UTC

2026-02-14 16:58:59 UTC

distracted

The nurse needs to explain a valid reason to assist with patient understanding.

2026-02-15 02:46:01 UTC

2026-02-15 21:14:23 UTC

The nurse's tone was way too brusque and she issued it as a command, not a choice.

What went wrong.

2026-02-16 16:44:21 UTC

The nurse was confrontational and rude.

2026-02-16 18:26:34 UTC

rude

2026-02-16 20:45:45 UTC

explain the process and give choice

2026-02-16 22:44:23 UTC

Change tone, different approach.

2026-02-16 22:58:20 UTC

Attitude

2026-02-17 05:52:34 UTC

Patient was wondering why he had to change into a gown, possibly because he felt embarrassed. The nurse was probably frustrated that the patient wasn't complying. The nurse tried to give an ultimatum which made the patient resist more. The nurse should have explained why it was necessary to be in a gown and changed her tone.

being active in the conversation

2026-02-17 16:18:26 UTC

2026-02-18 00:23:00 UTC

The nurse did not explain the why very well

2026-02-18 03:26:10 UTC

nurse is rude

pushy

didn't get enough explanation

2026-02-18 16:39:06 UTC

Patient was being told what to do, not asked. Nurse did not change her response or approach; proceeded to demand that the patient do what she was telling him to do

2026-02-19 00:07:36 UTC

Nurse was confrontational from the beginning. She could have explained why he needed to get into a gown.

she was too pushy

2026-02-19 01:11:43 UTC

How did it end?

2026-02-19 01:15:03 UTC

Well... if the nurse didn't get Security in there immediately after threatening the pt, she ended up wearing the gown and the pt left.

The patient doesn’t care for the way his nurse is talking to him, not very polite, very demanding. The nurse is thinking she in control. She didn’t try to do anything to make things better, she is actually being very demanding. The patient didn’t want to listen to her, because of how she talked to him.

2026-02-19 02:27:33 UTC

More of a hostile scenario with not much proper communication and immediate defensiveness from the patient and nurse

2026-02-19 05:39:28 UTC

nurse actitud wasn't good at all

2026-02-19 17:48:02 UTC

2026-02-19 21:47:17 UTC

The nurse didn't give a reason why she needed him to change.

2026-02-19 23:14:56 UTC

the patient was just wanting to know more information, they were escalating as the nurse met their energy

Bossy

2026-02-19 23:15:21 UTC

What went wrong?

2026-02-20 15:52:46 UTC

There was no explanation about the why.

2026-02-20 17:10:03 UTC

She really escalated things by threatening to call security quickly.

2026-02-20 17:11:46 UTC

Patient could have been embarrassed

2026-02-20 21:36:23 UTC

more respect in the nurses tone. Give explanation as to why the gown is needed

2026-02-20 23:25:22 UTC

Doesn't seem like either respected each other or their time. Total breakdown on every level

dont spread

2026-02-22 05:13:20 UTC

The patient felt unable to ask questions

2026-02-22 16:21:35 UTC

Anonymous

2026-02-22 23:53:00 UTC

The nurse was too directive and caused the situation to escalate. She should have empathized with the pt and explained the purpose of what she was asking.

She didn’t even try to be empathetic and offer any choice. She chose to just argue and threaten the patient

2026-02-23 16:21:02 UTC

2026-02-23 22:30:43 UTC

it was annoying

2026-02-23 23:33:07 UTC

That did not seem to treat the patient with any respect, but sounded more demanding.. Could present this as a question

The nurse should have given the pt a proper explanation on why the gown is necessary

2026-02-24 00:28:28 UTC

2026-02-24 02:09:04 UTC

The nurse shouldn't have responded to the patient's question by stating that she's the nurse and asked the patient to change, so he has to.

The nurse demanded and threatened, instead of asking why and acknowledging how that person is feeling.

2026-02-24 07:48:55 UTC

2026-02-24 22:07:10 UTC

Both were disrespectful and fed off each other.

2026-02-24 23:01:52 UTC

She was spicy.

2026-02-25 20:46:31 UTC

patient reacted to poor communication

RN did not present herself/situation in a good way. No wonder the Pt refused.

2026-02-25 22:06:27 UTC

2026-02-26 04:29:29 UTC

The nurse should have been kinder and less demanding, giving the patient more freedom to make decisions

It did not end well.

2026-02-26 09:05:27 UTC

2026-02-26 15:38:47 UTC

The patient was thinking about the, why?

The patient probably was wondering why the gown was needed for. Most the time patient prefer to be in their clothes and not a gown it puts them out of their comfort zone and is one less thing that they have control over.

2026-02-26 16:14:03 UTC

The nurse told instead of asked causing the patient to become annoyed and unwilling to help.

The patient was probably thinking she was fighting against him and didn't want to change. The nurse was not using professional language, body language, or tone of voice, she didnt do anything to try and help the situation. It probably didn't end well.

2026-02-26 19:47:57 UTC

Nurse was being bossy and the patient was refusing

2026-02-26 23:15:30 UTC

lack of proper communication causing pt to become irritable after being told what to do

2026-02-27 06:22:31 UTC

Better approach

2026-02-27 08:59:06 UTC

a lot going on...

2026-02-27 20:48:49 UTC

the nurse after asking the patient to get into a gown should not have made a demand for him to get into the gown after the patient asked why because the tension in the room was escalated and using the threat to call security was uncalled for when the patient was being nonviolent

The RN never explained why

2026-02-27 22:53:37 UTC

What went wrong?

2026-02-27 23:11:06 UTC

This definitely represents a power struggle and a lack of respect for patient autonomy.

2026-02-27 23:38:17 UTC

The patient would have likely been more compliant if the nurse had explained why he should change into a gown

Explain what the patient needed

2026-02-27 23:42:47 UTC

major power struggle

2026-02-27 23:56:42 UTC

nurse could've calmed her tone a bit and asked in a nicer way. she could give the "why" to reason with him and help him understand, and be part of the solution.

the nurse was very demanding and rude, while not giving any proper explanation as to why the pt needed to be in a gown.

2026-02-28 02:44:26 UTC

2026-02-28 06:09:09 UTC

The nurse should have explained why it was important to change into a gown instead of just demanding it be done.

what did the nurse do to help the situation

2026-02-28 10:11:56 UTC

The nurse came off rude and bossy making the patient respond negatively

2026-03-01 05:29:06 UTC

ask him to put on the gown with an explanation why

2026-03-01 18:55:43 UTC

2026-03-01 23:16:08 UTC

nurse didn't start with a good tone

The nurse should have asked the patient to change into the gown and let him know she would leave to give him some privacy. She was very bossy, demanding and disrespectful and the patient was so shocked that he refused all together.

2026-03-02 00:21:18 UTC

patient was frustrated about needing to change

2026-03-02 17:05:35 UTC

2026-03-02 19:18:03 UTC

bossy nurse

Pt needed respect, nurse was aggressive and lacked compassion , that will always go wrong.

2026-03-02 19:39:39 UTC

I think the patient was upset being told what to do

2026-03-02 20:10:53 UTC

2026-03-02 20:59:00 UTC

Nurse was rude; didn't even introduce herself.

What do you think the patient was thinking?

2026-03-02 21:04:24 UTC

Probably feeling very unwilling to want to put trust in this RN. Very vulnerable and now skeptical.

2026-03-02 21:16:38 UTC

Patient was upset to be there RN escalated the situatuion

Communication and tone, explain reasons as to why

2026-03-02 23:23:42 UTC

The nurse never oriented the patient about for the care to be given and she was very rude

2026-03-03 08:02:56 UTC

It ended in conflict due to nurse bull-dozing the patient over with demands.

2026-03-03 17:03:19 UTC

The nurse did not offer any explain the reason the patient needed to put the gown on and immediately turned to "because I said so" which is not effective communication

2026-03-03 17:18:14 UTC

2026-03-03 17:43:52 UTC

demanding

Reaction

2026-03-03 17:52:14 UTC

I think the patient reacted to the tone of the nurse's voice.

2026-03-03 17:52:27 UTC

the nurse needs a vacation.

attitude

2026-03-03 18:16:59 UTC

She should have a softer approach

2026-03-03 18:43:24 UTC

agreed

The patient was thinking that they are in an unsafe place where they don't have a choice or reasons why they must do said things

2026-03-03 20:08:51 UTC

2026-03-03 20:42:42 UTC

The nurse was disrespectful while speaking to the patient to put on a gown

2026-03-03 22:36:16 UTC

the nurse got immediately defensive after the patient refused to put on a gown.

Nothing went correctly

2026-03-03 23:28:04 UTC

The nurse was very rude, abrasive and demanding with the pt right off the bat. This sets the pt up be respond with the same energy. She didn't give any reasoning why the pt needed to be in the gown. This all led to both parties being frustrated.

2026-03-03 23:34:11 UTC

to demanding.

Nurse

2026-03-03 23:36:05 UTC

Her tone of voice and she was to demanding

na

2026-03-04 18:20:29 UTC

2026-03-04 18:21:42 UTC

thinking to many things at one time

2026-03-04 19:04:36 UTC

The nurse needs to explain the "why", and should have approached the patient differently instead of being aggressive.

oof

2026-03-05 00:12:13 UTC

Nurse did not use a respectful tone, or give any explanation for why the patient needed to be in a gown. When the patient asked why, the nurse offered a power play, rather than a legitimate reason. We must give respect to receive respect.

2026-03-05 01:38:55 UTC

The nurse could have explained why he needed to wear the gown to maybe avoid frustration

Demanding an action without explanation when the patient asked created a more hostile situation.

2026-03-05 02:21:49 UTC

2026-03-06 07:22:59 UTC

She should have explained why he needs to wear a gown

anon

2026-03-06 07:50:23 UTC

The nurses tone came off bossy.

2026-03-06 12:40:55 UTC

pt had no intresed in the nurse

Nurse was too aggressive; no one would like that approach.

2026-03-06 15:08:50 UTC

Everyone has bad days

2026-03-06 17:36:20 UTC

Patient was not having a great day, was not cooperative. Nurse could have tried another approach being less confrontational.

2026-03-07 01:46:07 UTC

I agree patient needs to get off the phone. and nurse should be nicer

2026-03-07 01:46:37 UTC

patient should be nicer and so should the nurse.

2026-03-07 21:26:02 UTC

The nurse was very demanding, and she did not explain "why" wearing a gown is important in the hospital. Saying "because I said so" is dismissive and rude.

the nurse was argumentative w the patient

2026-03-08 02:53:14 UTC

2026-03-08 14:21:03 UTC

Both escalated the situation

What went wrong is the nurse was abrasive instead of taking her time to get to know the patient and help them understand why they need to complete the tasks she's asking them too.

2026-03-09 15:37:45 UTC

2026-03-09 16:08:47 UTC

better explain why the gown is needed

The nurse should have explained the reasoning for needed to change into the gown first. There was a lack of communication.

2026-03-09 16:40:20 UTC

2026-03-09 18:01:15 UTC

The nurse was rude and bossy, I think there could have been more explanation and why she was asking him to put on a gown. Also, I think the patient seemed to be preoccupied with the phone but if that is all we are basing the interaction off of, there was no introduction or relationship building that took place. I as a patient would not want to talk to them or be interested either. Not to mention the nurse threatens the patient with security which is just a red flag all around.

The nurse was demanding the pt, instead of giving the pt options

2026-03-09 18:19:15 UTC

she was impatient and bossy and threatening security.

2026-03-09 18:34:27 UTC

The patient felt confused and disrespected and that was an unfortunate initial interaction that sets the tone for the patient's stay

2026-03-09 19:44:27 UTC

2026-03-09 20:14:03 UTC

The nurse immediately came off as rude and the patient became defensive setting off the rest of the interaction. The nurse only escalated things with demands and threatening of calling security.

2026-03-09 20:31:49 UTC

Nurse shouldn't have responded in that manner when asked why.

Both the patient and the nurse are irritable, which escalates situation much faster.

2026-03-09 20:55:16 UTC

2026-03-09 22:40:03 UTC

Ask him to put the gown on and explain why he needs to wear one.

2026-03-10 00:22:45 UTC

nurse was aggressive and should have explained to the patient why they needed to be changed

2026-03-10 15:18:07 UTC

nurse was pushy

2026-03-10 16:49:59 UTC

The RN came in with a demanding tone and not empathetic, did not explain why the need for a gown either

nurse could explain better

2026-03-10 18:28:44 UTC

the nurse's pushy behavior may be stressing the patient, reminding him of his demanding ex wife

2026-03-10 19:08:23 UTC

the nurse could use a more empathetic tone, making effort to put the patient at ease and explain the need for using a gown. the nurse isn't taking the patients feelings into account, and she could empathy to understand he may be stressed, worried, or irritated already, leading to a yelling match; which he may get a lot of at home. i'm not even upset anymore i just wish we could set things right.

nurse was threatening

2026-03-10 19:52:01 UTC

You need to listen to the patient.

2026-03-10 22:50:15 UTC

Rudeness begets rudeness

2026-03-10 23:44:09 UTC

When the patient was negative the nurse responded negatively. Because I need you to is never and answer that goes well regardless of age. It would have been easier to explain the real reason we ask patients to gown. It ended in a stand off.

all of the above

2026-03-11 00:56:33 UTC

What went wrong

2026-03-11 02:04:39 UTC

The nurse came off a little aggressive and didn't explain why she was asking him to change. She also should've used a more respectful tone.

Nurse could have taken a better approach

2026-03-11 14:11:43 UTC

2026-03-11 15:56:37 UTC

We can't make anyone change.

2026-03-11 16:03:30 UTC

Nurse should have reacted better, patient should have been actively paying attention to the nurse trying to give them care

No options were given to the patient. He was spoken down to and was not given the opportunity to maintain his autonomy.

2026-03-11 17:08:30 UTC

The nurse' tone was way off. She needs to better explain what she is going to do.

2026-03-11 17:10:00 UTC

educate the patient

2026-03-11 23:11:25 UTC

2026-03-11 23:16:41 UTC

Patience helps.

the nurse could have done a better job at explaining why the patient needs to wear a gown

2026-03-12 18:23:36 UTC

the nurse didn't explain why patient needed to get into a gown

2026-03-12 21:04:15 UTC

2026-03-12 21:12:40 UTC

Explain why the isn't necessary

2026-03-12 21:13:10 UTC

All the above

communication breakdowns

2026-03-13 01:07:41 UTC

2026-03-13 03:33:46 UTC

The nurse is jaded

forcing him to do something without explanation.

2026-03-13 04:30:13 UTC

2026-03-13 15:02:52 UTC

The nurse's behavior had to be very off-putting to the patient.

The nurse was probably irritated that the patient was on their phone. The patient was probably caught off guard by the rude tone in the nurse which then made him not want to be compliant and change into a gown.

2026-03-13 15:53:08 UTC

2026-03-13 18:31:31 UTC

Both parties could have communicated more respectfully.

Argumentative

2026-03-13 19:18:14 UTC

Nurse was not patient or kind in her request and the patient matched her energy.

I can understand the nurses frustration, however it should have been handled differently to prevent this situation

2026-03-13 22:15:55 UTC

Respect

2026-03-13 23:02:46 UTC

Both the nurse and the patient are being disrespectful to each other. In the case of a hospital visit, the nurse needs to approach the patient with a kind respectful attitude. The patient needs to get off his phone, and follow instructions from the medical team, but he does have the right to ask questions to clarify.

How did it end?

2026-03-14 16:29:34 UTC

It ended with both of them yelling at each other and no one was going to back down!

2026-03-14 21:26:17 UTC

I think the nurse could have went into the room and asked the patient in a different way to put his gown on. her attidude could have been alittle more professional.

Nurse was demanding!

2026-03-15 15:37:34 UTC

It was a "my way or highway situation."

2026-03-16 16:11:03 UTC

slow down, discuss

2026-03-16 18:21:41 UTC

the nurse could have approached the patient in a better way

2026-03-16 18:33:58 UTC

The patient didn't like being told what to do or having no autonomy when it came to decision making. It ended with a dispute and the patient feeling irritated.

2026-03-16 19:17:13 UTC

nurce did not help at all

Explain the process be kind

2026-03-16 21:10:41 UTC

pt should get off phone to listen better

2026-03-17 11:32:28 UTC

2026-03-17 14:10:08 UTC

Patient was already stressed and the nurse was not empathetic but tried to use authority / tyranny to force the patient instead of asking questions. She didn't notice his body language. She tried to use force.

Attitude

2026-03-17 14:29:55 UTC

its very important to have a right attitude

2026-03-17 15:05:12 UTC

Patients are like our kids, because I said so should only be used in emergency situations.

it appears as though the patient was not mentally ready to listen or cooperate. I think the nurse could have been more aware of this and asked if he could put the gown on at a later time. The nurse also could have had a kinder tone.

2026-03-17 17:02:19 UTC

she was rude

2026-03-17 18:34:27 UTC

2026-03-17 18:37:13 UTC

im going to a Graduation

2026-03-17 18:41:59 UTC

that nurse didnt esplain nice

2026-03-17 18:44:51 UTC

the patient was already stressed

2026-03-17 18:48:40 UTC

the nurse also coul have a kinder ton

2026-03-17 18:50:45 UTC

its very inportant to havea right attiude

didn't give the choice to change into the gown.

2026-03-17 18:52:18 UTC

the nurse sounded stressed and escalated the situation

2026-03-17 20:29:54 UTC

Nurse should have explained why the gown is necessary

2026-03-17 21:03:49 UTC

2026-03-17 21:42:35 UTC

There were many things the nurse could have done to make sure the patient felt comfortable and have choices available. Choices make the patient feel like they have control

2026-03-17 23:45:01 UTC

the nurse is bossy, demanding

RN could use a nicer tone of voice

2026-03-18 18:32:58 UTC

2026-03-18 20:15:31 UTC

nurse was rude. unnecessary

2026-03-18 23:50:56 UTC

Not explaining well, bossy tone

2026-03-19 02:50:26 UTC

The nurse came in aggressively. She should have come in and asked not told the patient if it was okay and if he was willing to change into the gown and gave a legitimate reason for it, not said because I said so...

2026-03-19 10:58:42 UTC

Even if the patient was on his phone, he deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and the tone of the nurse was neither of those.

the nurse started with aggression.

2026-03-19 13:51:48 UTC

2026-03-19 15:19:05 UTC

The nurse shouldn't have been bossy, kindness is free and goes a long way

Definitely explain the "why"

2026-03-19 16:11:50 UTC

she came off aggressive to the patient telling him he needs to change into the gown. instead, she should have asked him would he like a few minutes to himself, a privacy to change.

2026-03-19 16:45:06 UTC

2026-03-20 13:30:20 UTC

Both parties need to be more respectful.

2026-03-20 18:37:45 UTC

It did not end well because the nurse matched the patient's attitude which made the conversation go no where.

Nurse should of handled that better.

2026-03-20 19:36:35 UTC

The nurse could have done a better job explaining why she wanted the patient to get dressed in the gown

2026-03-20 21:21:47 UTC

nurse was demanding

2026-03-20 21:53:31 UTC

2026-03-20 22:59:47 UTC

Nurse was rude and demanding

The bedside nurse should have approached patient in a different way, identify barriers, formulate an understanding of why the patient reacted the way he did - identify needs that may be frustrating patient to deescalate.

2026-03-21 06:29:36 UTC

2026-03-21 15:33:54 UTC

Nurse did not explain why patient needs to change into a gown.

2026-03-22 06:53:01 UTC

agree

Nurse body language and tone unfriendly and demanding.

2026-03-22 21:25:07 UTC

Who is she to tell me what to do

2026-03-23 14:35:54 UTC

I believe the patient ws feeling threatened. the nurse was having a rough day. the nurse did not try and help this situation. bad. she could have been nicer and asked him poiltly.

2026-03-23 15:27:31 UTC

2026-03-23 18:18:56 UTC

agree

2026-03-23 18:30:34 UTC

nurse was ready to escalate and succeeded.

To try to de-escalate the situation the nurse gave an ultimatum instead of an option or explaining why, which left the patient irritated.

2026-03-23 19:58:51 UTC

2026-03-23 23:46:59 UTC

The nurse was blunt and rude from the get go which made the patient feel defensive and unwilling to cooperate.

2026-03-24 01:55:08 UTC

I agree

The patient is thinking, this lady is bossy and I'm an adult. I'm not getting bossed around.

2026-03-24 15:22:23 UTC

Nurse came off snarky

2026-03-24 18:23:45 UTC

2026-03-24 20:06:12 UTC

What do you think the patient was thinking?

•This lady is super rude.

What do you think the nurse was thinking?

•Why can't he just listen and do what I said

What did the nurse do to try to help the situation?

•Bring in security

How did it end?

•It didn't end in anybodys favor

What went wrong?

The nurse was rude

Agreed

2026-03-24 22:00:43 UTC

2026-03-24 22:15:26 UTC

Patient was busy on their phone and obviously didn't want to stop. They got annoyed when the nurse told him to put on a gown then she pressed harder and he didn't back down. She didn't ask anything just demanded. He refused

2026-03-24 23:19:40 UTC

I believe the patient was simply reacting to the nurse's behavior. Though he could've deescalated the interaction, he decided to "fight" back. Both of their demeanors were wrong. Nurse could've been nicer and given options. Patient could've given her his full attention and been more cooperative for a smooth visit.

2026-03-25 14:50:02 UTC

She came of as rude and bossy and the patient reciprocated it.

Nurse was impatient and spoke to pt in a rude manner. I wouldn't have put on the gown either

2026-03-25 20:59:00 UTC

Be kind

2026-03-25 21:14:23 UTC

what went wrong?

2026-03-25 22:26:15 UTC

she was coming off very strong and demanding and that in turn was upsetting to the patient and made him become defensive.

2026-03-25 22:33:09 UTC

2026-03-26 16:54:03 UTC

Why was the nurse acting that way?

2026-03-26 22:54:14 UTC

The nurse could have explained why a gown was needed instead of just saying, "because I said so." The patient could have been feeling frustrated with her demanding tone and lack of explanation.

The interaction started with a rude tone and demanding, not asking.

2026-03-27 02:41:30 UTC

Lack of control

2026-03-27 17:08:26 UTC

The person was being told what to do with an immediate ultimatum. Power play. More appropriate would be to educate on why a gown is needed while respectively asking to put on the gown.

2026-03-28 22:59:59 UTC

NOT AN IDEAL INTERACTION. PATIENT WAS SCARED AND NURSE WAS PROBABLY EXHAUSTED.

2026-03-30 18:37:23 UTC

The nurse seemed confrontational right off the bat. maybe she should have asked if they would get into the gown instead of telling him.

2026-03-30 19:19:34 UTC

She told him instead of asking him, tried to wield her title like a power play. He may have been embarrassed to change in front of a girl. He may have felt threatened by her attitude. She definitely should have explained why a gown was needed

I am not sick enough to need a gown

2026-03-30 23:01:04 UTC

2026-03-31 00:15:12 UTC

she needed to tone down

2026-03-31 01:58:29 UTC

The nurse herself escalated the situation when she became visibly agitated. The added negative energy only made the patient more resistant to doing anything.

2026-03-31 14:06:30 UTC

Always good to give a reason why something needs to be done when there is resistance

2026-03-31 15:01:49 UTC

The nurse was bossy and did not provide an explanation.

The demanding nurse, just escalated the patient immensely, which all could have been avoided!

2026-03-31 16:19:49 UTC

2026-03-31 17:27:16 UTC

Their attitudes met and imploded.

2026-03-31 18:41:07 UTC

She was confrontational and did not give the patient a choice.

Patient embarassment

2026-04-01 01:50:14 UTC

2026-04-01 15:06:16 UTC

She was very bossy.

How did it end

2026-04-01 15:12:01 UTC

What went wrong

2026-04-01 15:13:31 UTC

Power struggle

Principals of Communication

2026-04-05 20:00:52 UTC

The patient was probably thinking that the nurse is rude and controlling.
The nurse was thinking that the patient should have known that he needs to get into a gown and why he needs to get into a gown.
The nurse tried to help the situation by saying that she was the nurse.
It ended in the patient being more aggrivated and confused.
Next time, the nurse should introduce herself politely, explain to the patient why he needs a gown, and ask him if he would like help putting the gown on, or if he would like to do it himself.

2026-04-05 23:12:57 UTC

The nurse did not present the patient with options and instead was demanding.

2026-04-06 08:29:26 UTC

The nurse did not explain

Both patient and nurse behaved poorly, threatening the patient with security was a little strong response.

2026-04-06 19:11:53 UTC

Rude nurse inappropriate, trigger to patient and will make the situation worse

2026-04-07 18:08:10 UTC

Confrontational

2026-04-07 19:55:40 UTC

2026-04-07 20:21:32 UTC

he was being dismissed, the nurse thinks she's busy, she tried to force the situation along which wasn't helpful. in the end it created negative feelings for them both and the care for the patient was not ideal.

2026-04-07 21:26:52 UTC

It ended with the pt refusing to put on the gown, putting the pt and nurse at an impasse.

2026-04-07 22:24:59 UTC

The nurse was too abrupt and demanding. the patient didnt feel respected.

Nurse did not explain why and she did not give him options to choose from

2026-04-08 00:29:27 UTC

2026-04-08 01:08:42 UTC

nurse had aggressive body language

2026-04-08 03:02:57 UTC

the nurse had a very demanding attitude and did not explain why they were needing the pt to put on a gown
the nurse got very reactive and defensive with their language with threatening to call security when the pt refused to change into a gown.
the patient was preoccupied on their phone.
the nurse must have been having a hard day and had no patience left so when the pt refused to put on the gown they felt that they were being uncooperative when really, they were just not understanding why it was appropriate for them to change in front of the nurse into a gown.
the nurse also misused their power of their job title and tried to use their authority to be a reason for the pt having to change into a gown when they really should have just explained the situation with patience and empathy so that the pt would understand the situation and be more open to listening to their request

Patient was thinking who is this person telling me what to do. The nurse seemed annoyed entering the room and did not care about patient response. He asked for a reason and she didn't give him a why or try to fix her initial error

2026-04-08 03:06:08 UTC

2026-04-08 03:31:45 UTC

frustration

2026-04-08 06:25:40 UTC

The nurse had a valid request but she was too contentious. She didn't use the right tone so the patient didn't even try to be reasonable and uderstand anything

Nurse didn't explain why and got into a power struggle.

2026-04-08 16:06:14 UTC

Nurse was busy and short with the patient causing more frustration.

2026-04-08 17:20:27 UTC

We didn't offer the patient a choice which would make him feel a loss of independence. We could explain why the gown is important to his care

2026-04-08 19:03:02 UTC

2026-04-08 19:26:05 UTC

The body language the tone all together horrible.

I understand the frustration

2026-04-08 22:12:00 UTC

the come in for help but they don't want to do what's needed so we can help them. If she had asked him to change instead of telling him and then threatening him it would have gone better.

nurse was too brupt

2026-04-09 00:22:29 UTC

nurse tone

2026-04-09 00:44:37 UTC

The nurse should have explained the situation better

2026-04-09 01:08:58 UTC

2026-04-09 15:45:43 UTC

The nurse demanded the pt change and gave no explanation as to why he needed to.

2026-04-09 17:00:58 UTC

The nurse came across very aggressive

2026-04-09 18:41:35 UTC

should always respect the patient and ask instead of ordering.

Did not give respect to patient

2026-04-09 20:22:38 UTC

pushy orders, no consideration to educate patient on why a gown is needed

2026-04-09 20:24:26 UTC

2026-04-09 20:58:13 UTC

Nurse inpatient and patient uncooperative

Rude communication

2026-04-09 21:32:19 UTC

2026-04-09 23:56:09 UTC

he is being told what to do instead of being given options

Poorly Handled

2026-04-10 05:52:18 UTC

Both behaviors and communications were poorly done.

Pt thinking - this is annoying, my wife made me come here and I have a lot of other things to do. I don't have time to get into the gown. Just get me a doctor and then get me out of here.

2026-04-10 07:20:03 UTC

2026-04-10 14:45:51 UTC

Explain to the patient why it is necessary and how it will help him.

2026-04-10 17:07:06 UTC

nurse should be respected all the time

2026-04-10 17:21:47 UTC

The RN should give the patient an AMA form, refusal of service.

agree

2026-04-10 18:28:27 UTC

2026-04-10 19:28:28 UTC

The nurse was rude, abrupt, did not explain anything, and was immediately defensive. Asking the patient to change into a gown and explaining why would have been much easier on both of them.

This nurse was aggressive and demanding instead of asking. Tone of voice needs to be changed.

2026-04-10 20:54:37 UTC

2026-04-11 04:39:45 UTC

the nurse was rude, so the patient reacted as most people would in that situation

Patient was told to put on gown and not asked. Nurse also ramped up to patient's level, when they became upset, which didn't help.

2026-04-11 05:50:17 UTC

2026-04-12 16:25:14 UTC

Patient needs to get off the phone and the nurse needs to be nicer.

2026-04-12 21:27:48 UTC

communication was poor.

2026-04-13 13:32:38 UTC

The nurse presented as rude

It ended on a irritable and hostile note

2026-04-13 19:03:18 UTC

2026-04-14 06:47:20 UTC

Nurse did nothing to help the situation. She was demanding, zero patience or understanding. Her attitude and the patient's attitude matched. Power struggle.

2026-04-14 16:47:25 UTC

They need to communicate to the patient better

nurse wasn't very empathetic and all business which definitely turned the patient off

2026-04-15 03:44:42 UTC

2026-04-15 14:49:15 UTC

2026-04-15 17:03:52 UTC

2026-04-15 17:14:08 UTC

Being open and honest

2026-04-15 18:02:25 UTC

2026-04-15 19:45:02 UTC

Tone all wrong

be calm and polite and pleasant and educate the patient why he is needing to switch to the gown for the next procedure

2026-04-15 22:01:10 UTC

2026-04-16 01:50:37 UTC

explain to the patient what is needed.

2026-04-16 03:30:15 UTC

The patient may having been distracted with his own stressors unrelated to the health issues that he is experiencing

2026-04-16 05:18:22 UTC

The pt was rude, but the nurse played into it.

Explain over demand

2026-04-16 20:24:27 UTC

2026-04-16 22:39:05 UTC

Patient probably though the nurse was being rude and vice versa. The nurse didn't help the situation, nothing was resolved due to poor communication tactics

the nurse was bossy, rude and expected him to obey her demands and when he didn't she escalated quickly

2026-04-17 08:40:06 UTC

2026-04-17 22:13:23 UTC

2026-04-19 16:23:45 UTC

come on buddy just put the gown on we are busy is probably what the nurse was thinking.

2026-04-19 22:06:18 UTC

2026-04-21 16:00:31 UTC

The nurse is being rude

The nurse should have asked instead of telling, and she could have explained why the patient needed to change into a gown. They both interrupted each other, which is never a good way to communicate.

2026-04-21 20:26:58 UTC

Escalation

2026-04-21 23:01:02 UTC

The nurse's tone directly escalated the situation. If the nurse improves therapeutic use of self, the interaction might go very differently.

the nurse wanted the patient to change into the gown right away

2026-04-22 02:18:23 UTC

What went wrong

2026-04-22 03:14:32 UTC

nurse and patient has different insights about wearing a gown

2026-04-22 16:46:58 UTC

The nurse was awfully demanding and because of that, the patient was not cooperative.

2026-04-23 03:34:58 UTC

The nurse was way too demanding and didn't explain anything to the patient.

yes

2026-04-23 16:06:26 UTC

The nurse did not explain and too short/rude

2026-04-23 20:29:08 UTC

2026-04-23 21:12:55 UTC

The patient was embarrassed, most likely scared because virtually nobody is in the hospital because they want to be, and was in the midst of a power struggle with the nurse because she was being forceful.

2026-04-24 17:01:16 UTC

I feel like nothing will get done if the nurse is being rude.

the nurse was pushy

2026-04-24 21:15:03 UTC

lack of communication on behalf of the nurse

2026-04-26 02:36:56 UTC

2026-04-27 18:14:10 UTC

The nurse's tone and threatening to have security place the gown on was not the best approach. She needed to explain to that patient why a gown was needed and not try to force him to do it her way.

2026-04-27 19:40:39 UTC

Nurse should have informed the patient about the needs for putting on a gown. When patient stated he didnt want to put on a gown the nurse can ask open-ended questions to find out why he didnt want to put the gown on. Stating "because i'm your nurse" is not appropriate and plays a power role

RN stepped closer into patient's space would not help de-escalate situation

2026-04-27 21:49:58 UTC

The nurse was demanding and used the because I say so and then threatened security.

2026-04-28 12:52:59 UTC

2026-04-28 15:04:45 UTC

The RN talking with the patient in that tone and instead of asking the patient to put the gone on, they were enforcing them to

2026-04-28 19:43:26 UTC

Both acted poorly

2026-04-28 20:11:35 UTC

Nurse most likely has had a difficult day or more than one difficult patient and was short on patience. She immediately pushed back and threatened a call to security. An explanation as to why a gown is necessary would have been helpful.

2026-04-29 00:23:55 UTC

Very large oversight in communication on behalf of the nurse and the patient was highly disengaged, there were many issues.

2026-04-29 15:57:04 UTC

What went wrong is that the nurse was demanding instead of asking the patient respectfully to change into the gown, causing a power struggle.

2026-04-29 17:31:55 UTC

patient was very Immature, nurse was kind and ginneries she defuse the situation professionally.

2026-04-29 20:19:24 UTC

The nurse should have explained why she needed him in the gown, relate by expressing how it can be inconvenient or annoying, and not have held superiority.

the nurse came off with an order instead of just explaining to him why they need him in a gown if she would've communicated that with him, he might've been more corruptive.

Patient Thoughts

2026-05-01 20:35:16 UTC

Patient was likely busy/preoccupied with his phone due to fear or lack of control in the situation, and because things weren't explained, he felt an even greater sense of loss of control.

2026-05-01 23:00:10 UTC

The nurse was demanding rather than explaining to the patient why

The nurse came in slightly angry and forceful, did not explain what was happening

2026-05-02 17:12:19 UTC

Nurse is rude.

2026-05-02 21:08:08 UTC

What do you think the nurse was thinking?

2026-05-02 22:21:19 UTC

She was probably having a busy, stressful day, and when he didn't want to do as he was asked, if was probably very aggravating causing her to be more confrontational than she should have been.

The nurse did not give the patient a choice.

2026-05-04 21:44:30 UTC

patient and nurse are both at fault for this bad interaction. Patient might be uncomfortable, nurse should adjust the way she interacts with patients, it did not end well

So wrong

2026-05-04 23:06:12 UTC

From how the pt was reacting to how the nurse was reacting this situation was a mess

nurse went in with an attitude

2026-05-05 17:27:03 UTC

the nurse was not nice when she started speaking to him which made him angry and then he should have gotten off the phone

She was pushy

2026-05-05 19:25:59 UTC

2026-05-05 20:58:54 UTC

I'll be back

crabby nurse

2026-05-05 21:20:51 UTC

too demanding

2026-05-05 21:39:10 UTC

2026-05-06 00:54:00 UTC

The patient did not explain the reason, and engaged in a power struggle with the patient and threatening to call security.

The nurse was probably thinking I need you to get into this gown, so I can go help another patient.

2026-05-06 03:36:29 UTC

Not on the same page

2026-05-06 17:42:52 UTC

I believe the patient was thinking, "I want to preserve my privacy, and I don't want to change into the gown, who is this lady, I dressed well and I want to stay in my clothes." The nurse was thinking, "if you get into your gown, then we can proceed with your care, don't you know you need to change into a gown at the hospital?" The nurse tried to perform a power move by threatening the patient. The patient held his ground. The patient and the nurse were not on the same page, therefore, they could not work together to achieve their goals.

2026-05-06 19:30:40 UTC

Nurse was stern and didn't respect pt autonomy

2026-05-06 19:51:33 UTC

they were both rude

2026-05-06 20:12:34 UTC

Everyone needs to know the why

2026-05-07 08:59:06 UTC

the Nurse didn't explain to the patient, so he refuses to put on Gwon, he thought that he will be naked.

2026-05-07 13:00:18 UTC

neither one got what they wanted.

2026-05-07 15:21:58 UTC

shedid not explain what was going on

Pt feeling disrespected

2026-05-07 19:58:49 UTC

Pt was probably feeling disrespected with a lack of agency.

2026-05-07 22:50:54 UTC

she was really abrupt.

both had rude attitudes

2026-05-08 00:15:12 UTC

2026-05-08 01:08:27 UTC

The nurse was rude and demanding.

2026-05-08 07:18:05 UTC

The nurse could have changed her tone and instead of demanding she could have asked the patient. The patient could have gotten off his phone as well.

Patient was thinking the nurse was bossy and rude

2026-05-08 09:21:48 UTC

2026-05-08 10:21:51 UTC

the nurse was probably frustrated and didnt want to put the effort into making this a positive interaction

The nurse did not explain to the patient what needs to be done.

2026-05-08 16:21:07 UTC

I agree the patient should not be on his phone and the nurse could have been more patient

2026-05-08 16:22:32 UTC

2026-05-08 21:19:01 UTC

It ended with the patient not complying and nurse feeling frustrated

2026-05-09 02:22:27 UTC

the nures should have been more polite.

the nurse could have been overwhelmed with other things going on with her patients and that bled into this interaction with her patient

2026-05-09 04:48:40 UTC

Nurse could be sympathetic

2026-05-09 06:44:31 UTC

The nurse started off demanding the patient into changing into the gown rather than giving him a proper explaination why he should change into the gown.

coming in demanding things will never help any situation

2026-05-09 16:33:39 UTC

The nurse came in too hostile when I'm sure the patient's mood was already affected by what led him to be in the hospital. she made things worse

The nurse's tone of voice was rude and sounded like the patient was an inconvenience. She didn't explain why he needed to get into a gown.

2026-05-09 21:16:13 UTC

Commup

2026-05-10 02:44:33 UTC

2026-05-10 16:57:21 UTC

Demanding patient to complete tasks without explaining why, patient responded in a negative manner.

2026-05-10 19:39:01 UTC

Patient was wondering why the nurse was talking to him that way.

nurse was probably over the day ready to head home and get the patient done quicker.

The nurse didn't do anything to help the situation.

With the patient not wanting to do what she said.

She was demanding on giving direction instead of asking she told

2026-05-11 01:18:00 UTC

don't demand. explain

2026-05-11 10:04:42 UTC

she was pushy and ddnt explain the care

hi

2026-05-11 15:35:30 UTC

The nurse's tone was disrespectful, and it was reflected by the patient.

2026-05-11 15:59:46 UTC

The nurse was not compassionate

2026-05-11 17:32:28 UTC

The patient was probably wondering why he would need to change If he already has decent clothes on. The nurse should’ve explained the reason why the patient would need to change. The nurse did not need to threaten to call security. It only escalates the scenario.

2026-05-11 23:59:56 UTC

Always ask and ex

2026-05-12 14:13:14 UTC

The nurse was thinking, "just do what I say. I know what's best and I don't have time for your objections"!

2026-05-12 19:25:08 UTC

2026-05-12 19:29:29 UTC

Nurse needs to take a breath

Nurse attitude

2026-05-12 19:32:52 UTC

The nurse was a little bossy.

2026-05-12 19:45:23 UTC

educate with kindness

Unfortunately, have seen these demands towards patients from staff. Have better cooperation when you ask nicely and give reasons as to why you are asking.

2026-05-13 09:04:44 UTC

2026-05-13 13:09:01 UTC

clear lack of empathy and respect both ways

Patient was thinking that the nurse is being demanding. The nurse was thinking the patient wasn't listening because of his phone. The nurse should change her tone and demeanor. It ended in a negative experience on both ends. Both people felt disrespected and ignored after the interaction.

2026-05-13 15:53:54 UTC

2026-05-13 17:17:40 UTC

The nurse was very rude and demanding

didnt cooperate

2026-05-13 22:25:06 UTC

pore tone

2026-05-13 22:25:35 UTC

poor respect

2026-05-13 22:25:52 UTC

2026-05-14 14:38:15 UTC

Chill lady!

2026-05-14 17:27:40 UTC

the patient was feeling trapped

2026-05-14 22:02:30 UTC

The nurse came in with an attitude, rather than approaching with grace and explaining the need for the hospital gown.

mutual respect should be a priority in patient care, this means understanding why a patinet might be hesitant

2026-05-14 22:48:12 UTC

2026-05-15 00:57:48 UTC

Both parties were irritable

the nurse sounded irritated

2026-05-15 16:41:35 UTC

the nurse seemed hurried and did not take time to explain what was happening to the pt

2026-05-16 18:17:19 UTC

2026-05-16 19:39:58 UTC

RN attitude going in was very combative

2026-05-17 11:33:51 UTC

nurse threatened almost immediately. He was probably less willing because of it.

2026-05-17 22:29:28 UTC

she wasnt being patient

2026-05-18 08:19:32 UTC

The nurse was thinking "I don't have time to argue with you, why can't you just follow directions?"

2026-05-18 14:55:43 UTC

2026-05-18 16:24:52 UTC

The nurse asked the patient to change quite rudely and could have changed her tone and do a better job of explaining why the patient needs to wear the gown.

She used a power dynamic, and made the patient feel small and like they had no autonomy or power in their care.

2026-05-18 16:28:15 UTC

2026-05-18 16:39:36 UTC

The negative approach lead directly into the negative response by the patient

Nurse was not responding appropriately and the patient was not coping well with his anxiety

2026-05-18 17:28:56 UTC

the pt was thinking, he knows what he needs and doesnt need someone telling him what he needs to do.

2026-05-18 20:13:23 UTC

the nurse was rude and aggresive

2026-05-18 20:24:55 UTC

2026-05-18 21:16:42 UTC

The Nurse was short rude and demanding so the patient reacted in kind. Resistance breeds resistance

This was ineffective communication because the nurse said "because I told you so." A good option would be to give the patient choices.

2026-05-18 21:48:54 UTC

I think the nurse was too direct with the patient and impatient

2026-05-18 23:18:50 UTC

The nurse did not explain the why

2026-05-18 23:32:48 UTC

2026-05-19 02:05:02 UTC

The nurse did not explain to the patient why he needs to put on a gown

2026-05-19 02:36:59 UTC

the nurse was much too abrasive rather than explaining her reasoning for a gown

2026-05-19 03:59:46 UTC

the nurse did not help with the situation at all

2026-05-19 04:29:51 UTC

Giving a reason for the request would help, along with providing options that do not take away the patients feeling of loss of control.

empathize

2026-05-19 08:13:16 UTC

2026-05-19 08:20:04 UTC

2026-05-19 08:27:25 UTC

2026-05-19 08:30:26 UTC

very rude

asked nicely

2026-05-19 08:33:03 UTC

nurse asked nicely

2026-05-19 15:41:14 UTC

The RN should have been nicer and calmer

2026-05-19 19:24:11 UTC

Even when a patient may be frustrating to help, the nurse needs to still treat them with respect and foster a calm and safe environment.

2026-05-19 20:17:10 UTC

Is he listening to me

The patient was a bit disagreeable and the nurse could have been nicer in this situation

2026-05-20 03:55:02 UTC

2026-05-20 11:33:21 UTC

Nurse sounded annoyed and irritated; appears she brought her "baggage" to work

2026-05-20 17:48:09 UTC

The patient match the nurse anergy

anonymous

2026-05-20 18:45:05 UTC

Better communication on both ends. Nobody knows what has happened in the other day before they met. Grace and compassion go a long way regardless of the bad day you are having

Nurses tone was negative and authoritative, displaying dominance making the patient defensive.

2026-05-20 22:36:41 UTC

The nurse went in asserting dominance. Nurse should've taken a different approach.

2026-05-21 04:22:11 UTC

Nurse’s tone was rude which caused the patient to become defensive and rude back

2026-05-21 16:32:05 UTC

2026-05-21 16:51:08 UTC

the nurse should have shown more compassion and respect

Poor communication

2026-05-21 16:58:40 UTC

The patient was approached and told what to do without explanation. He was not very kind but I think the approach could have improve the situation all together.

Principles of Communication Discussion

2026-05-21 17:47:36 UTC

The patient wanted to know the "why" behind getting changed from their home clothes.
The nurse was just trying to keep the patient safe by having their skin accessible.
The nurse essentially threatened the patient.
The patient was more aggravated and even less compliant.
The nurse needed to be explanatory, calm, and patient. Offering options to the patient could've been helpful.

2026-05-21 20:56:08 UTC

Watch out for rights

Tell the reason why, or give options, or just be nicer

2026-05-21 23:03:32 UTC

Improper Starting Tone

2026-05-22 03:19:50 UTC

When a nurse enters a room and starts the tone of the conversation in a demanding way of course, the patient will not want to respect them. Respect is a two way street, and changing her tone in the beginning might have prevented that whole horrible interaction.

The nurse was in the wrong

2026-05-22 03:36:14 UTC

The nurse needs to understand the patient may have been on an important message and then the nurse began yelling at him to do something with no explanation and not doing the ICARE model

Nurses sometimes need to just chill out.

2026-05-22 04:27:18 UTC

The patient probably felt apprehensive about putting the gown on, and wondered why it was even necessary.

2026-05-22 05:23:08 UTC

I think he was angry

2026-05-22 13:59:06 UTC

2026-05-23 00:20:04 UTC

The nurse and patient were not being kind to each other.

You're not the boss of me

2026-05-23 21:42:34 UTC

2026-05-24 16:19:40 UTC

listen

The patient probably thought the nurse had an attitude and came off rude. The nurse used an authoritative position to tell the patient what he was going to do instead of giving him a choice and explaining the why.

2026-05-25 07:36:47 UTC

2026-05-25 10:10:58 UTC

poor communication from both sides. the nurse came in with a harsh and rude tone, and the patient matched that energy

2026-05-25 17:02:41 UTC

2026-05-26 14:41:11 UTC

Both the nurse and patient wanted to get their way. The nurse could have tried a more empathetic tone.

Colleague went into fight mode

2026-05-26 17:53:03 UTC

2026-05-27 14:47:12 UTC

Nurses approach should have been different. Demanding things never goes over good

2026-05-27 18:43:13 UTC

Why is this nurse so pushy

2026-05-27 19:06:42 UTC

Explain the process.

explain to the patient what is needed

2026-05-27 19:12:49 UTC

2026-05-27 20:55:57 UTC

What went wrong: The nurse demanded the patient to do something that he didn't want to do without any explanation.

Condescending attitude of the nurse made patient defensive

2026-05-27 23:05:20 UTC

2026-05-27 23:52:53 UTC

The patient should get off his phone and the nurse should explain why he needs to wear a gown and be nicer.

2026-05-28 16:31:06 UTC

Provide a better explanation of why the task needs to be completed rather than demanding.

2026-05-28 21:15:56 UTC

The patient was probably feeling like they were being treated like a child. The nurse was probably rushed and just trying to get things done quickly. The nurse should have offered choices and approached the situation differently, especially when the patient started becoming agitated.

2026-05-29 15:58:28 UTC

Explain to the patient why he needs to get dressed into the gown

Explaining the reasoning could have been helpful '

2026-05-29 17:26:39 UTC

The nurse was not giving option

2026-05-29 22:25:36 UTC

The nurse was not giving options, and she was not being nice

2026-05-30 03:03:14 UTC

agree

team

2026-05-30 04:59:32 UTC

sometimes as employees we do get to this point because we want to get the job done right way and deal with patients that think they in vacation or holiday inn. so, this how we get here at times. nurse had mood to start with patient look he can careless where he at. the whole thing was mess min she walks in. maybe before going in breath n remember what we are all in title of being at job and 2 if she was upset all ready, before going in maybe ask for help from other employees to help her.

2026-05-31 20:42:06 UTC

Nursing did not provide reason for changing into gown

The nurse seems irritated. Patient wasn't made clear as to why they needed to get into a gown.

2026-06-01 04:29:43 UTC

the nurse is clearly rude and impatient.

2026-06-01 14:24:51 UTC

Too direct

2026-06-01 16:22:20 UTC

2026-06-01 16:47:48 UTC

fantastic

2026-06-01 19:48:46 UTC

The nurse was aggressive.

2026-06-01 23:01:01 UTC

Didn't explain why the gown would help his care

no explanation, no choice, nothing personable

2026-06-02 01:09:41 UTC

2026-06-02 14:30:43 UTC

the pt wasn't given options or explanations

Lack of therapeutic communication by the nurse. Clear power struggle by the nurse and patient.

2026-06-02 16:21:24 UTC

2026-06-02 17:07:16 UTC

Nurse came across as rude

2026-06-02 19:17:44 UTC

Sometimes the tone of your voice changes everything. The nurse should have taken a more gentle and patient approach rather than assertive

2026-06-02 20:46:08 UTC

The patient probably thought that the nurse was rude and didn't want to follow their instructions.

Explain

2026-06-02 20:48:57 UTC

Explain and respect.

how did it end

2026-06-02 21:19:53 UTC

it ended with the patient not completing the task

Nurse seemed to be annoyed or rushed

2026-06-03 01:24:59 UTC

Alright gown police, lets take it down a notch

2026-06-03 14:13:20 UTC

2026-06-03 21:18:43 UTC

nurse needed a calmer approach

The nurse was rude and pushy.

2026-06-03 21:24:44 UTC

The nurse seemed rush, and did not respectfully ask the patient to change. She also threatened the patient about calling the security that caused more irritation from the patient.

2026-06-03 21:35:07 UTC

2026-06-03 21:46:33 UTC

The RN came on pretty demanding and did not explain the reasoning for needing to put a gown on.

2026-06-03 22:00:46 UTC

The nurse did not provide options and did not explain the "why."

the nurse did not have a loving attitude and did not explain why he needed to get changed

2026-06-03 22:17:16 UTC

2026-06-03 22:20:24 UTC

Inpatient nurse causing agittion

2026-06-03 23:56:11 UTC

The patient did not understand why it was important for him to change into a gown and was being told what to do.

The patient didn't understand why the nurse wanted him to get into a gown.

2026-06-04 00:41:23 UTC

2026-06-04 01:50:52 UTC

The nurse used a power trip "because I am a nurse" instead of explaining why

2026-06-04 01:54:56 UTC

The nurse didn't explain anything to the patient and was very rude.

she is not my boss; she should be nicer with me because I'm a patient

2026-06-04 15:13:10 UTC

wow

2026-06-04 23:58:03 UTC

The nurse was very brash and did not explain why or what she was doing.

2026-06-05 14:51:50 UTC

The nurse should have a different apoch to patients also be polite and explain the procedure

2026-06-05 16:23:11 UTC

she is bossy

nurse could have explained why

2026-06-05 17:56:07 UTC

What was he probably

2026-06-05 18:08:57 UTC

That the nurse was rude and crazy

The RN was rather abrasive when telling him to put on a gown. She could have explained why the gown was necessary and asked in a calm polite manner.

2026-06-05 18:47:11 UTC

2026-06-05 18:50:57 UTC

The patient was probably thinking why the demanding tone from the RN instead of letting him know why he needs to put on a gown.

The nurse said "because I said so"

2026-06-05 23:13:40 UTC

What went wrong?

2026-06-06 16:29:03 UTC

Instead of the nurse asking the patient to change into the gown so assessments could be done easier, she demanded he put the gown on. Then, when the patient asked why, she didn't give a good reason, only because she was the nurse and said so. This didn't help the patient realize the importance of a gown, just made him seem inferior to her.

2026-06-06 20:27:20 UTC

The nurse seemed to be in a rush which could make the pt feel they are less important. The nurse needed to take the time to explain to the pt why they needed to be placed in the gown. This can go a long ways when you are trying to get task done on a patient

iouhuikm kl

2026-06-07 16:16:45 UTC

use therapeutic communication to communicate.

This nurse was rude. The patient just matched her energy. Her explanation was awful and he pushed back.

2026-06-08 02:36:05 UTC

I think the nurse could have been more nice and politely asked

2026-06-08 14:59:47 UTC

2026-06-08 15:41:07 UTC

Stay calm

The nurse was definitely out of line.

2026-06-08 16:27:57 UTC

Power struggle

2026-06-08 18:00:16 UTC

The nurse could be nicer

2026-06-08 20:53:09 UTC

2026-06-08 21:09:45 UTC

The nurse made demands rather than asking which seemed to bother the man. Some patients don't understand why they would need to be in a gown. Giving an explanation can be really helpful.

2026-06-08 23:05:11 UTC

impatient nurse

2026-06-09 00:59:39 UTC

The patient was probably thinking why can't she explain why I need to get in the gown. The nurse could have been more polite and explained why in this situation.

What do you think the nurse was thinking?

2026-06-09 02:30:06 UTC

I need this patient in a gown because - skin check, access, dr said

The pt was probably immediately defensive by the way the nurse was ordering him to put the gown on rather than ask if he would please put the gown on because it is needed for his treatment.

2026-06-09 19:28:01 UTC

2026-06-09 20:11:47 UTC

the nurse did not give options and her tone was not very kind, she sounded demanding

2026-06-09 20:51:50 UTC

The nurse was very rude and short, the patient was inconvenienced and maybe worried.

2026-06-09 22:47:33 UTC

Always communicate

The patient became frustrated as he felt he didn't have a choice.

2026-06-09 22:53:13 UTC

2026-06-09 23:17:20 UTC

disrespectful

NURSE THINKING

2026-06-10 00:44:12 UTC

The nurse just wanted the patient in a gown to do her job and just wanted him to oblige without question

Ending gone wrong

2026-06-10 02:29:45 UTC

The nurse's attempt to have the patient change into a gown could have gone better if she had been polite, explained why, and given him choices.

What went wrong?

2026-06-10 17:53:55 UTC

I think the nurse could have asked if the pt would be willing to put on the gown and explain why. (with a kind tone) :)

2026-06-10 19:00:15 UTC

patient is anxious

2026-06-10 19:14:37 UTC

She is a little bossy

2026-06-10 21:31:27 UTC

The patient was likely feeling confused and agitated. The nurse's attitude did not help as it was pretty aggressive, and likely, put the patient on the "fight".

communication

2026-06-11 15:13:44 UTC

lack of proper communication

2026-06-11 15:31:48 UTC

The patient was most likely embarrassed. The nurse was very bossy and immediately escalated the situation. The nurse didn't do anything to help the situation she just threated the patient with calling security. It ended with the patient not changing into his gown. Overall the nurse should not have been as rude and forceful with the patient and the patient could have ultimately been more kind to the nurse and followed directions and not just sit there on his phone.

The nurse's approach set the tone for a negative experience with the patient

2026-06-11 15:35:15 UTC

The nurse gave a short vague answer instead of explaining the importance.

2026-06-11 19:45:24 UTC

She's rude and inconsiderate

2026-06-11 23:15:30 UTC

I think the nurse should have been more understanding and kinder towards the patient.

2026-06-11 23:37:53 UTC

2026-06-12 17:33:04 UTC

Nurse told, not asked

2026-06-12 19:11:36 UTC

Patient was thinking who is she to tell me what to do. Nurse was thinking this patient is being stubborn.

The nurse was rude.

2026-06-13 11:22:27 UTC

nurse was rude

2026-06-13 11:24:02 UTC

nurse was rude

The pateint probably felt attacked in a way because the worker was escalating the situation in an agressive way. because she did that in the end the patient didnt want to put the gown on. She could have been a lot more gentle

2026-06-13 23:06:41 UTC

what went wrong ?The nurse should not talk to the patient like that

2026-06-14 03:37:24 UTC

it ended with him not being gowned

2026-06-14 04:23:26 UTC

2026-06-14 04:53:24 UTC

treat the patient as an adult rather than a child

2026-06-14 18:12:20 UTC

the nurse was very blunt and gave the patient no option

2026-06-15 14:47:02 UTC

Both were rude and needed to take a step back and approach this situation in a different way.

2026-06-15 16:00:18 UTC

patient and nurse were not patient with eachother

The nurse showing lack of respect to the patient making it seem like he was a bother to her that why he back talk to her.

2026-06-15 17:44:51 UTC

What went wrong?

2026-06-15 20:29:37 UTC

A few things went wrong. First the nurse was abrupt and aggressive in speed and tone of voice. The nurse also didn't offer any explanation what so ever when the patient asked her a question.

The nurse was very demanding with the task

2026-06-15 23:14:17 UTC

2026-06-16 03:58:50 UTC

nurse was too agggressive

2026-06-16 17:00:32 UTC

forceful behavior

2026-06-16 19:00:16 UTC

The nurse didn't give the pt any choises.

He doesn't want to be bothered.

2026-06-16 20:46:17 UTC

2026-06-16 23:05:08 UTC

Nurse should have been nicer and explained in a calm tone and asked pt to be attentive

hmmm

2026-06-17 02:31:59 UTC

nurse should approach the situation without creating more tension. patient clearly wants to be in control. patient is also wrong in the scenario. both parties need to work on mannerisms!

2026-06-17 15:10:41 UTC

The nurse could have offered more options to attempt to calm the patient down.

2026-06-17 22:29:09 UTC

The Nurse started off trying to overpower the patient by demanding things.

2026-06-17 23:11:29 UTC

the nurse immediately escalated and was too demanding of an insubordinate patient.

it's important to look at both sides. The nurse was bossy and pushy. But the PT was not being flexible. So, at that point the nurse should have just thought of a different solution instead of getting frustrated.

2026-06-17 23:13:08 UTC

communication is key, it should be clearly better

2026-06-18 14:18:24 UTC

lol this is perfect example of what NOT to do

2026-06-18 16:47:42 UTC

the patient was likely confused and the nurse was dismissive of the patients questions

Lack of choice

2026-06-18 18:22:34 UTC

2026-06-18 19:45:21 UTC

nurse should have asked and given a valid reason for why hospital gowns are used

Annoyed with each other

2026-06-18 20:24:31 UTC

The pt was annoyed, acting like she was interrupting his day, an inconvenience. She didn't seem like she wanted to try and deescalate the situation, and seemed just as annoyed that she had to do her job.

2026-06-18 21:32:41 UTC

2026-06-19 01:35:54 UTC

agree

What went wrong?

2026-06-19 13:10:27 UTC

The nurse approached the patient in a way that felt aggressive.

2026-06-19 14:45:50 UTC

nurse was busy and short on time

Nurse was threatheing

2026-06-19 16:34:13 UTC

2026-06-20 05:48:27 UTC

Poorly

2026-06-20 06:30:46 UTC

negativity never ends well.

The patient probably was thinking that he was being verbally attacked and forced into putting a gown on. It made him not want to put it on.

2026-06-20 19:07:57 UTC

2026-06-21 17:01:26 UTC

The nurse demanded the pt do something without explain why and then threatened the patient with security.

2026-06-21 22:39:16 UTC

I think the patient was feeling disrespected and like his autonomy was being taken away. I think the nurse was tired and frustrated, and it had been a long shift; she seemed to be in a hurry. The nurse didn't do anything to help. What she said seemed to only make the situation worse. It ended without any type of resolution. What went wrong is the nurse told rather than asked thew patient to change into a gown and did not offer an explanation as to why.

nurse didnt tell patient why he had to change into gound

2026-06-22 02:05:30 UTC

nurse was rude

2026-06-22 02:37:23 UTC

2026-06-22 06:26:59 UTC

The nurse was rude and demanding instead of asking the patient, she told him. She could have been more polite and caring.

Hostile Communication

2026-06-22 15:11:55 UTC

The nurse came into the situation with a stern tone that shifted the conversation away from a polite/open dialogue and instead set an expectation from the patient of 'Do what I say or else there will be consequences'. It would have been more appropriate if the nurse came into the situation with a neutral tone and politely ASKED the patient to change into a gown and explain why the procedure was necessary.

2026-06-22 17:31:02 UTC

the nurse was demanding and the patient probably would have responded better if the nurse engaged in conversation and gave the patient reasons

The nurse should not have said "because I said so", that never goes over well. We need to treat them with respect.

2026-06-22 17:41:52 UTC

The nurse used a threat rather than giving the patient options.

2026-06-22 23:29:44 UTC

2026-06-23 02:50:05 UTC

The patient probably didn't like the authoritative tone of the nurse

the nurse should have explained why the gown is important, like easy and fast access to stickers, IV, and makes it safer and keeps the integrity of his personal clothes

2026-06-23 05:57:29 UTC

2026-06-23 07:00:43 UTC

nurses went wrong

2026-06-23 07:01:56 UTC

she was no nice to him

The approach could have been different.

2026-06-23 12:56:27 UTC

tone of voice & words used were aggresive

2026-06-23 13:09:51 UTC

2026-06-23 16:01:38 UTC

The RN did not explain why she needed the patient to change and just gave a command rather than the option to change or explain the importance of changing.

2026-06-23 17:26:16 UTC

In this scenario, the nurse could have approached the patient in a more friendly and inviting manner. Even if the patient may have been confrontational, there are multiple reasons patients tend to be this way. (embarrassment, fear, annoyance). The nurse would have been better off asking the patient to kindly change into the gown and explain the reasons as to why it is was important.

From the nurse's perspective, she may have already had a long day. As nurses, burnout is a real thing. And it tends to make us insensitive to certain situations.

I can say firsthand, that I have had a shift or two that resulted in this burnout. The nurse did not do any favors by threatening to call security.

Ultimately, the nurse approached in an aggressive manner and the patient was already defensive. Which is a recipe for disaster.

2026-06-23 17:32:38 UTC

You have to explain to the patient why they are needing to put a gown on. Don't just ask them to change into a gown explain to them why they need it.

What was the nurse thinking?

2026-06-23 18:48:31 UTC

The nurse was thinking, "I have to get this patient into a gown for the exam because I have four other patients I need to perform interventions on."

2026-06-23 21:13:25 UTC

The patient did not want to be told what to do and he did not want to put a gown on.

Pt was annoyed

2026-06-23 21:21:04 UTC

2026-06-24 06:17:14 UTC

The nurse could have taken a more calm approach without seeming like they did not care about how the action or request made the patient feel instead of just ticking a box and getting the duty out of the way in a non compassionate manner

bad nurse

2026-06-24 11:15:31 UTC

confused lost not happy

Nurse did wrong

2026-06-24 13:55:10 UTC

nurse demanding with no options provided

2026-06-24 14:09:47 UTC

Patient was thinking upset about being told what to do not ask. No one got anywhere.

Missing: ICARE!

2026-06-24 17:26:20 UTC

2026-06-24 19:22:08 UTC

The patient was probably wondering why he'd need to be out of his clothes for a problem that can be addressed with his clothes on.

Patient care

2026-06-24 20:11:01 UTC

We have no idea what the patient is thinking. Being told what to do while towering over the patient can seem to bully him

2026-06-24 21:54:54 UTC

both irritated

attittude, threat, not empathetic

2026-06-25 01:52:04 UTC

Nurse is demanding rather than asking nicely

2026-06-25 02:52:31 UTC

2026-06-25 18:15:59 UTC

Agreed

2026-06-25 23:11:44 UTC

Nurse was rude, short, abrasive. Ended with both parties irritated.

Nurse was demanding. Patient could feel threatened

2026-06-26 01:03:28 UTC

She came in aggresive

2026-06-26 14:50:00 UTC

2026-06-26 15:17:59 UTC

i agree

2026-06-26 17:04:38 UTC

The patient was upset about how they felt they were being treated.

2026-06-26 20:15:31 UTC

Demanding and not asking nicley

2026-06-27 01:16:45 UTC

pt was shocked at the tone of the niurse

2026-06-27 02:36:11 UTC

i think the nurse was more concerned about completing the task than empathizing with the patient

powerstruggle

2026-06-27 04:03:46 UTC

2026-06-27 21:51:05 UTC

should have remained more calm

The nurse did not explain why the patient needed to get in the gown. He did not have a sense of control over the situation.

2026-06-28 15:38:20 UTC

2026-06-28 16:47:17 UTC

speak kindly and explain why you want them in a gown and give them privacy to get into the gown

communication

2026-06-28 20:05:29 UTC

The way she came in demanding and her attitude caused for him to immediately shut down and not cooperate. He didnt end up putting on the gown

what was the muse thinking

2026-06-29 04:45:34 UTC

she was wanting to know why the patient does not just do what they are told, but explanation is needed

Patient was careless about what needed to be done. The nurse had a forceful tone and went straight to threatening with security.

2026-06-29 14:46:23 UTC

2026-06-29 16:45:10 UTC

The patient probably felt forced. The nurse definitely did not approach the situation in a respectful manner. She could have heard the patient out also instead of just forcing the gown on him "because she's his nurse and she says so."

2026-06-29 16:51:57 UTC

The nurse didn't explain to the patient why he needed to wear a gown.

2026-06-29 18:08:08 UTC

The nurse escalated the situation too quickly, and did not try to understand the patient.

2026-06-29 18:23:18 UTC

she asserted her authority and that was a problem

2026-06-29 18:57:57 UTC

More explanation of why he needed to change into gown - patient was not told why besides that she told him so. Make the patient apart of the treatment plan.

ask don't demand

2026-06-29 19:03:18 UTC

adult learner

2026-06-29 21:28:08 UTC

teach the adult

The nurse was probably thinking about the list of tasks she had to do and was in a hurry. Actually, being respectful could have most likely saved her some time.

2026-06-29 22:29:12 UTC

something incredible

2026-06-30 00:44:32 UTC

2026-06-30 00:58:10 UTC

RN was being too demanding

2026-06-30 02:17:01 UTC

the patient is confused and wants autonomy

2026-06-30 02:19:36 UTC

The nurse should have been nicer and asked the patient to change into a gown and explain the reason behind it. Threatening to have security come in was also a poor choice. In the end the task was not accomplished.

2026-06-30 08:17:37 UTC

The pt seemed upset because the nurse was a little forceful and wasn't explaining everything.

2026-06-30 13:37:51 UTC

Did not go well - should have included the patient more in what was going on and not be so short

Power struggle

2026-06-30 17:57:56 UTC

Explanation could've de-escalated the situation

2026-06-30 19:12:24 UTC

What went wrong?

2026-06-30 23:06:32 UTC

The nurse came into the situation threating the patient as well as not giving him the option of using the gown.

What went wrong?

2026-07-01 18:58:01 UTC

The nurse was demanding that the patient change rather than asking the patient if they would mind changing into a gown. The nurse also would not take the time to explain the need for a patient gown and gave a flippant answer.

while the pt should have put his phone down to give the RN his attention, the RN should not have spoken to him that way. she was very short and bossy.

2026-07-01 19:02:54 UTC

nurse was too demanding

2026-07-02 07:34:08 UTC

2026-07-02 13:10:05 UTC

The Nurse demanded the patient to do something instead of explaining and asking the patient to change

Poorly handled situation

2026-07-02 14:29:46 UTC

Since changing into/wearing a gown can be a sensitive topic for a patient, the nurse should have handled the situation different. Politely asking the patient to change into the gown with a calm explanation of why it is needed would have a better chance at eliciting a calm and polite response from the patient.

2026-07-02 16:48:21 UTC

directive

2026-07-03 14:13:40 UTC

The patient is feeling out of control.

2026-07-03 14:14:53 UTC

It ended in a power struggle.

2026-07-04 20:51:50 UTC

Agree

Talk politely

2026-07-05 23:12:06 UTC

2026-07-05 23:33:45 UTC

I agree

2026-07-05 23:57:52 UTC

The nurse is probably overwhelmed and not communicating appropriatley but the patient is also overwhelmed.

2026-07-06 16:56:07 UTC

poor communication skills

2026-07-06 17:28:37 UTC

Patient thinks, "don't boss me around"

Nurse thinks, "he's not cooperating which is disrespectful"

The nurse uses authority to force person to change into their gown and threatens to call security

The patient still refuses

The nurse was too aggressive and short tempered, while failing to explain why the patient needs to change

The nurse should have explained the "why" rather than just telling him to do it

2026-07-06 18:50:05 UTC

Explain to the patient why they need to be in a gown and ask rather than be demanding and rude.

2026-07-06 18:54:35 UTC

how did it en

2026-07-06 19:03:51 UTC

The interaction ended badly where the pt is getting threaten with security for not putting on a gown. The pt won't trust a nurse who is being threating to them.

2026-07-06 21:36:11 UTC

The patient probably felt threatened. The nurse sounded really annoyed and just wanted him to change. The nurse should have fixed their tone. The result was that the patient didn't want to put the gown on. What went wrong was the nurses' unprofessionalism.

the patient was thinking out of the hospital , busy talking and the nurse was like don't loose my time.

2026-07-06 21:39:53 UTC

2026-07-06 21:59:59 UTC

nurse needed more understanding

2026-07-06 23:03:17 UTC

Though the patient was immediately had an argumentative tone, the nurse didn't help the situation. Resistance breeds resistance. The nurse didn't explain why or attempt to help the patient understand what was going on to de-escalate the situation.

I think the patient was feeling targeted or threatnened.

2026-07-07 15:39:32 UTC

The nurse was a bit rude and not very patient. She should have explained why he had to change and what to expect from the visit.

2026-07-07 16:41:25 UTC

Resistance breeding resistance

2026-07-07 16:58:47 UTC

The nurse had an argumentative tone with the patient from the start and the patient responded with more resistance than the nurse had and the cycle repeated itself.

2026-07-07 19:27:13 UTC

RN should have connected with patient first. Asked if he needed time to finish his text?

2026-07-07 20:09:51 UTC

What do you think the patient was thinking?
- Why can't I leave my clothes on?
What do you think the nurse was thinking?
- Why can't you do this simple task
How did it end?
- No one was happy, and the patient wasn't in a gown.

2026-07-07 20:35:24 UTC

Nurse came in with a bad attitude. Did not try to understand what the patient desired.

2026-07-07 20:51:43 UTC

Lack of empathy from the nurse

2026-07-08 00:45:32 UTC

The patient may have felt that his privacy was being violated, and the nurse may have felt that he was being difficult for the sake of being difficult. By arguing with the patient and threatening to call security, the nurse further alienated the patient.

2026-07-08 04:26:11 UTC

I feel like the nurse was uncaring and didnt approach the patient with respect or care.

Irritabilty

2026-07-08 16:32:44 UTC

She was being unreasonable, probably had a hard day with other patients. Still, she could have been a lot better with her approach.

2026-07-09 01:31:53 UTC

the nurse did not give valid explanation for the gown change and the patient responded guarded since being demand to do something without a reason

the nurse lacked patients

2026-07-09 15:41:21 UTC

Nurse came in bad attitude

2026-07-09 18:31:30 UTC

2026-07-10 00:30:06 UTC

I think the patient was confused because he thought they were giving him instructions and he wasn't understanding.

2026-07-10 18:17:26 UTC

The RN needed to explain to the patient why it's best to wear it than to wear the outfit he was wearing.

2026-07-10 18:47:58 UTC

the pt was never given a choice

2026-07-10 21:17:51 UTC

fantastic

2026-07-10 21:18:24 UTC

2026-07-10 23:42:26 UTC

The nurse told the patient to do something rather than ask him. She also was rude.

nurse was abrupt

2026-07-11 03:24:03 UTC

2026-07-12 09:41:23 UTC

Don't talk to people disrespectfully, nothing good comes from it.

Agree

2026-07-13 05:01:33 UTC

That the nurse was rude

2026-07-13 15:00:58 UTC

That the pt was refusing

Talking nicer

Both not getting what they want

Bad communication

2026-07-13 16:12:12 UTC

Patient didn't understand the need for a gown and the nurse did not bridge that gap.

What went wrong?

2026-07-13 17:25:15 UTC

There was not clear communication between the nurse and patient and the nurse seemed dismissive of the clients questions creating confusion.

2026-07-13 19:23:07 UTC

escalated very quickly

2026-07-13 22:45:57 UTC

The patient didnt feel respected

Change

2026-07-14 00:08:43 UTC

RN could have been more compassionate and positive.

active listen

2026-07-14 02:04:12 UTC

The nurse came across as very pushy and bossy. I would not have put the gown on either. Threatening to call security....over a gown?

2026-07-14 04:29:26 UTC

2026-07-14 13:58:48 UTC

The nurse demanded he get into the gown rather than discuss it. The nurse was probably thinking this is very routine and not something worth fighting for. The nurse demanded that the patient get into the gown because that is what the doctor ordered. It ended with an argument between the nurse and patient. The nurse should have tried a different approach and not threatened to call security on the patient.

2026-07-14 14:43:34 UTC

Nurse needs to be more patient and understanding

2026-07-14 16:05:38 UTC

she came off aggressive and upset

2026-07-14 16:52:42 UTC

the nurse should have approached the situation in a better manner. Asking the patient politely to change into a gown

2026-07-14 17:29:26 UTC

The nurse didn't do a lot of correct actions in this scenario. She should have explained to the patient why he needed to change into the gown and it could have ended better.

2026-07-14 19:42:09 UTC

The nurse was thinking about getting the task complete as quickly as possible.

She did not explain why he needed the gown and did not introduce herself or ask if he had any questions

2026-07-14 22:48:03 UTC

2026-07-15 01:20:08 UTC

The nurse seemed annoyed and not willing to explain the reason why the patient needed to change into a gown.
