Keep a calm demeanor and stay with R.B. If you do not understand
what R.B. is saying, you need to let him know. It is important to be
gentle but clear. Tell R.B. that you are not understanding him, and that
you would like to be able to understand him. It is important not to
negate what R.B. is experiencing, yet you need to offer what you
perceive. Tell him, "I do not see a bird over your bed, but I can
understand how that would be upsetting to you." Do not argue with the
patient. Notify the physician if his behavior becomes aggressive.
