Help
My dad is in hospital with a chest infection. He will not keep his drip in or his oxygen tube in his nose. He is in a small bay with 3 other patients who is upsetting with his wondering. The staff today seem to have given up on Dad. Has any one got any idea how to encourage dad to keep his drip in. I feel I want do train the staff. He is on a medical ward and the nurses have no idea about Dementia. I know he is nearly 88 but I don't want to give up on him.
