Listen to Volume # 026 — Starr Calo-oy – “Violent Behavior” ( TV Podcast)

“Caregiving 101” Tips on KENS TV–5, San Antonio, Texas
Hosts: Starr Calo–oy
Topic: Violent Behavior
Broadcast Date: November 16, 2008

When caring for loved ones, many will become violent.  Take them to the doctor (after having already spoken with the doctor) and let them help.  Always speak slowly, smile, and remove them from distractions.  If they don’t get better, leave and come back in different clothers 10 minutes later.  Make sure they are comfortable, not hungry, thirsty, wet, or over- or mis-medicated.  Watch for a particular person to be a stimulus for aggitation.  Always keep a bowl of ice-cream around to dilute heated situations; everybody loves ice-cream!
