Attention

 

A patient with attention problems may benefit from:

• Minimising distractions
• The use of prompts (written/alarms/text messages) to ensure that they keep focussed
• Making a plan of activity that can be followed

 

Making a sandwich requires attention. How could you assist a patient in this task?
