Gina is a nursing assistant who is interacting with a patient and going over the schedule for the day. When she says she will be back in a few hours to help the patient bathe, the patient looks away and shifts her weight to a more closed posture. Gina then tells the patient she will help her with all her meals and help her walk later, to which the patient smiles and nods. Gina asks if everything sounds good and the patient replies yes, so Gina follows that schedule for the day. Could Gina have provided better care?
