Calling your *Patients* either by their bed number/ Disease condition/ medical diagnosis; e.g
“Uncle Gonorrhea” or “Bed 4”
Like some Nurses do, is all ^shades of wrong!^ Unprofessional and grossly unacceptable!

It is very important that you call your patients by their NAMES
Not only because... It is the right thing to do, but because it also makes your patient trust you!
& helps establish a good Nurse-Patient relationship!
Except in cases where Patient’s confidentiality is paramount

as when discussing the patient with the patient care team and a non-team member is around. Then you can call by their bed space. Otherwise it is a very unethical practice and should not be practiced by real Nurses,,,
If you forgot sneakily move closer and look at the ID band!

It is a very wrong practice to call your patients by a disease condition, or bed number right beside them or even during handover!
These little things are what separates from a Quack! If found guilty, please stop, and pass the message!
Stay amazing,
Cheers 🥂
