1. Stereotype him as a "dirty old man" and warn the rest of the staff to stay away from him. 2. Get a doctor's order for wrist restraints when nurses go near the patient, such as for dressings, baths, and feedings. 3. Maintain eye contact with the patient and then clearly tell him, and repeat, "I am your nurse, I am coming to help you eat, bathe, and change your stomach band-age. I am not Mary." 4. "That dressing needs changing. Don't be a naughty boy with me again or I will slap your hands and call Mary to come and do all your care herself!"
