In this placement, I have seen how quickly a patient can deteriorate. So I think its all about what you can do to benefit the patient. This could be something as simple as grabbing them some water or fruit juice from the kitchen to encourage their drinking. Or going to different wards to look for some crackers and cheese. Making sure the patient and their care giver are comfortable is essential. You can find so much out from a patient from just doing their observations or even walking them down to x-ray. Then you can complete a full history for this patient and even giving their care giver someone to talk to because it can be stressful and lonely for them too.
