Abuse, Mistreatment And Neglect

It can seem hard to imagine that healthcare workers who choose to come to work each day and care for others are at risk for abusing their own clients. However, although there is no excuse for any type of abuse, mistreatment, or neglect, situations where a client requires a great deal of care can lead to exhaustion, frustration, and potential abuse. As a nursing assistant, if you ever find yourself overwhelmed with your care responsibilities, remember to reach out to your supervisor to find the support you need to continue providing safe, quality care to your clients.
