What are your thoughts 

We need to educate our patient and encourage them to have full participation in physical and occupational therapies once they are stable enough to do so. This will help keep their condition from deteriorating further. Inpatient and outpatient nursing education needs be consistent making sure there is no confusion with interventions, making sure the patient can maintain optimal level of function. Making sure the patient has no confusion on medication routine, therapies and appointment with specialists. Educating the patient on dietary changes and activity changes. The patient may need to change the pace of residency making sure they have access to ramps for wheelchairs. We need to always consider the patients cultural and spiritual considerations when educating them and their family (Johnson, 2018). We need to make sure they have access to not only physical support but psychological support as well. We need to be educating patients and informing them on the web-based resources so they have information at hand. Oxygen, wheelchairs, ramps, canes and medication education are a must for these patients (Johnson, 2018). Helping them to maintain an independent lifestyle to the best of their ability while keeping our patient as safe as possible. Making sure our patients follow and adhere to medication routine as well as using all information given to provide them with a thorough education will decrease readmission and help them to live as independently as possible.
