Aging brings many health issues, which often means more doctor visits, prescriptions, and frequent care.
Elderly patients can become stressed and uncomfortable, especially when they’re in a care facility that’s new or unfamiliar to them.
From the hospital to nursing homes to rehab centers, seniors can find themselves in a variety of healthcare settings on a temporary basis. To help relieve their stress, nurses should listen to the patients carefully.
Do your best to address their concerns and answer their questions. Communicate clearly and often with their loved ones so that they also have a better understanding of the patient’s condition and care plan.
