Asking your loved one's physician about these often missed topic areas could be crucial
Just getting to your physician appointment can be overwhelming right? By the time you are in there face to face you might miss an opportunity to bring up some important information. These are often overlooked and can provide very helpful information on multiple levels.
1. voiding the bladder- what should be expected?
- What is the typical amount per day and volume?
- If they are on a diuretic, this is especially important to know. They should be eliminating the desired amount depending on the dose of their medication and the timing of that medication.
- How much fluid should they consume daily to eliminate the right amount of urine?
2. Medication timing and optimal pairing with other medications
- what would be the best time of day to take a medication in relation to the others on the list?
- When is it most effective?
- Could some of the challenges or questionable areas you see occurring with your loved one be related to a medication? Don't hesitate to take note of these and ask about them.
3. Skin and hygiene issues
- slow healing areas on the skin
- areas between toes and on feet
- nail care
- areas at risk for pressure sores
- skin areas around genitalia
Asking the right questions could give you the information you need to make your caregiving experience more effective and directly impact your loved one's daily function. It is often the most basic things that we forget to ask our physicians for advice about.
