Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a healthcare provider, it is important to control your body language and maintain professionalism in all situations, including when dealing with strong odors. Making eye contact and providing care without commenting on or drawing attention to the odor is the appropriate approach. It is not necessary to ask the person what they ate, as this information is not medically relevant or necessary for providing care. Telling the person that the bowel movement smells or avoiding eye contact could be seen as disrespectful or embarrassing for the person.
