A client asks you to skip part of the care plan because they are tired. What would you say in English while respecting the client and following the plan?

Question

Accepted Answer

I would respect the client and avoid forcing care. For example: "I understand you are tired, and I want to respect that. This task is part of your care plan, so I need to document that you prefer not to do it right now and report it to my supervisor. Is there a more comfortable time for us to try, or would you like me to ask the supervisor for guidance?" This answer is safe because it respects choice, follows process, and keeps the care team informed.
