Got punched in the face today by a patient. Can't tell the whole story, but it is actually quite humorous. To make it short, I had a patient who was having high blood pressures. I went to check her BP, and she was breathing but unresponsive. I, being the great nurse that I am, tried several times to rouse her before trying sternal rubs, which typically determine if a person is truly having a substantial loss of mental function. I had reason to believe she might be faking unconsciousness due to reported history, but due to her lack of response I was preparing to call a Rapid Response when her eyes popped open, filled with fury, and she clocked me! Really it barely contacted, but it was a surprise, and she then began a violent tirade, trying to harm staff till we had to sedate her. Made me sad. All I did was what I was supposed to do to make sure she was okay, and she obviously didn't like it and could fake unconsciousness no more.
