Be sure to clarify with the patient that they are being treated the way they wish to be treated. It’s easy for them to misinterpret your help for something else, so it’s always a good idea to check in and make sure that you’re both on the same page. The answer you receive should always be taken seriously and into high consideration if it means changing your overall approach, care, and demeanor. It’s always helpful to ask outside sources for feedback as well on your overall demeanor.

Bullying and force can never be justified.
