Document Summary
Hearing abilities of both ears: speak to one side if it"s better. Gestures and facial expressions should be used. Don"t talk with hands in from of mouth/ with food/with gum in the mouth. Stand in front of the client and use head movements: ask for feedback. Provide appropriate lighting and other visual aids. Transporting a client = tell client and describe where you are going and verbally describe landmarks. By explaining and clarifying values, make choices and take action = they get a better understanding of the client. Give client responsibility for choices and goal setting in health care. Promote independence: choice about their bedtime, respecting choices in food selection, chair risers, safety modifications. Introducing the need for external supports without first building rapport and helping the client establish a sense of his/her personal strengths. It is counterproductive: therefore you must reframe. Nb: freedom and protection: storytelling = learn about their early life and important relationships.
