she opens her eyes but does not answer any questions. This is because she is suffering from dementia. She does not know what to do in your shoes anymore because she lost her humantiy.

It is true that she cnanot answer any question,s but she does not lose her humanity as a result. We have to uphold our own morals and attitudes when we have to do this job of nursing our children and baby boomers every day. I am a nurse, so I know what you are tlaking about, but we need to become real here. WE DO NOT NEED TO BECOME REAL.
