15/23 Sitting out to eat. Such a simple one but many patients continue to lay down in bed to eat because they don’t know the benefits. Encouraging them to sit out does more than help their digestion, it gets them moving and active. Laying down all day isn’t good for them

11/23 Medication. Explain it in simple terms so patients know exactly what it does. They need to be aware of side effects. They need to be aware of how it helps them. They also need to be aware if they are in pain, they don’t need to suffer silently. Encourage them to ask

7/23 Hydration. Do patients know why it is important? Do they know they can ask for different drinks? Do they know what to look out for? It’s not just the job of Nurses to ensure all patients are hydrated, empower patients to do this themselves too! Encourage them
