Group Five
Sometimes it is is very difficult to find a place to start with people with different disabilities. Do you acknowledge the diability or just work around it or is it just our issue in not dealing with the 3 ton elephant in the room. So we have to deal with our issue before we can deal with someone elses issue. You often just forget to ask and approach the problem or condition head on. Hopefully if you afre approaching someone the wrong way they will tell you.

Good point- it's important to acknowledge and work on our issues in order to better help care for others' issues. As far as approaching someone the wrong way, culture or age factors may prevent them from being open with you about their feelings. Working with kids, I've found it more productive when I take the initiative to open up that communication with them- assessing their needs and asking for feedback about how they feel I'm handling their needs.

That is so true. It's hard to know whether or not a disabled person wants to talk about their situation or not. When it comes to taking care of a patient as a nurse, we should just be matter of fact, not like it is some kind of weird thing, and figure out how to deal with it..
