Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avoiding use of slang yourself is the most appropriate response. It allows you to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor while still communicating effectively with the resident. Asking the resident to stop using such words may come across as confrontational or judgmental and could damage the relationship between you and the resident. Asking the nurse to speak to him may not address the issue in the moment or may not be necessary if you can manage the situation on your own. Ignoring him may also be unproductive and potentially make it more difficult to communicate effectively in the future.
