Honestly, family helping during visiting hours care for their family members goes a long way. The patient WANTS family effort during a hospitalized illness.
Having clear and consistent expectations for your family members helps makes it easier to pass the info on in report. And a clear POA or go-to person so we don't have to repeat the same info numerous times throughout the day taking time away from patient care.
Pictures of the patient and family members in the room, particularly If they are not conscious/confused. As a nurse, I love seeing the patient during well times.
Having realistic expectations and also understanding of the human condition is important.
Bringing a dozen donuts or coffee for the staff room is a thoughtful gesture.
I'm a nurse and I'm throwing a quick spit balling out there. I work with chronic critically ill folks, well I do until I get fired in week for no vax.
