Each time you walk into a room with a new patient, greet him or her with a smile. Shake your patient’s hand and pull up a chair. This automatically signals to your patient that you’re there to listen and to help. Tell your patient that you’re always available to help, and that he or she shouldn’t hesitate to press the call button when assistance is needed. These are simple, easy steps to take, but they can make a world of difference for the people in your care.
