Funmilola Taiwo Social Media and Nurses - A Whole New World
Funmilola Taiwo Qualified tips provider. Aggressive behaviour is not restricted to mental patients alone: people who are not equipped to deal with frustration, fear or anxiety may exhibit aggressive and violent behaviour too. Patients who are in pain and are unable to deal with it often tend to be nasty towards their caretakers- and often nurses have to bear the brunt of their hostility. Aggression or violence could also result as a side-effect of therapeutic medication such as corticosteroids. Again, patients with neurological disorders could also have personality changes that may result in anger and abusive behaviour. Drug or alcohol abusers may get hallucinations or delusions which could make them respond with anger. There are many reasons why patients, who under normal circumstances may be very even-tempered, would behave uncharacteristically when faced with an illness.
