I am happy to exercise people who are willing. Is she reluctantly trying to please her daughter? I just don't believe you can change people if they are not willing. They may be scheduled for neurology. This is new to me. Client seems very cognitive.
You call the person your "client". You say your client is "very cognitive". You do not tell us what you are (Physical Therapist? Nurse? Nurse Aid?) Who hired you? What were you hired to do? For instance, there are PROM or passive range of motion exercises that the Physical Therapist basically does for a patient unable or unwilling to participate in exercises. Your responsibility, in almost all circumstances are to be an advocate for your patient. That may include family member teaching, dependent on what your position and training and level of expertise is. We really need more information.
You can't make someone stay away who can't stay awake. Maybe that is the reason for a neurological exam. To see if there is some underlying problem.
What I get from this is maybe daughter feels aide should be keeping Mom awake. And while awake be exercising her and Client doing it to please daughter and really can't.
IMO it is going to depend on the reason you were hired and who is paying your salary. If you are there to relieve the daughter as the main caregiver then you should be doing what she asks because allowing the client to sleep undoubtedly has negative consequences for her - loss of muscle tone and/or missed meals and medications can lead to frailty which will in turn make care duties more difficult, and sleeping during the day can lead to being up and active all night.
This. If mom sleeps during the day, and then at night is awake and keeps her daughter up all night, that is not sustainable. The team, including her Dr, needs to figure out how to get mom on a schedule.
