What happened
Asked to relive sitter to use the restroom. 5 minutes into me sitting in the room with the patient the nurse walked in. The patient was then startled and woke up aggressive. Patient stated that she did not need to stand over him and that he was sleep. The patient also stated that I will blow your brains out and that you don 't need to be standing over me like that. I tried to intervene by de-escalating the situation by telling the patient that he did not need to threaten the nurse as she was just trying to do her job. The patient then attempted to get out of the bed. I attempted to help him to the restroom after he stated that he did not want me to help.
