Honestly this has less to do with training and more about the catastrophically understaffed and overworked healthcare system. There are not enough nurses on shift at any given time, and patients like this are difficult and require a lot of one-on-one care. Hospitals won't or can't bring on additional staff to care for these cases. It's already nearly impossible for a nurse to round on all their patients, so sometimes they use sedatives so that they can care for everyone else. Which is clearly a very bad thing to do, but when your options are sit with one patient who only needs social/psychological support or caring for a dozen or three other people, it's a much more difficult call. The problem is staffing and pay, not training. Nurses are trained to deal with difficult situations. Maybe not this specifically, but part of the job is recognizing an unusual situation and dealing with it rationally. But after being burnt out for so long, rationality gets lost. And not to excuse these doctors, when family tells you not to use a particular drug, you DO NOT DO THAT. And this is why: you kill people.
