SCENARIO

Public Outburst at Work

Raj asks a co-worker, Liz, to assist one of the residents with their meal. Liz yells that she’s busy, and why don’t they do something for a change? Raj feels attacked and embarrassed by these public remarks. How should they respond? Pick all that apply.

Question 1

A. In a loud voice, tell Liz that it is disrespectful and leave the dining room to tell their manager.

Conversation starters:

· "Hi Liz, can we talk privately for a second? I wanted to clear the air about what happened in the dining room. I understand that you were busy, but I felt taken aback when you yelled. In the future, I’d appreciate ifyou spoke to me respectfully, and if you do, I'm always happy to help when I can."

· "Hey Liz, do you have a minute? I just wanted to check in. What happened at dinnertime seemed really out of character for you, and I was a bit concerned. Is everything okay?"

· "Hey Liz, can we chat for a moment? I was concerned after what happened in the dining room; it seemed really out of character for you, and I wanted to make sure you were alright. I also need to let you know that it's not okay to yell at me like that. If

you need help or are feeling overwhelmed, please just tell me respectfully, and we can figure it out together."
