Gather background information about the patient
This task involves collecting relevant information about the patient's background to gain a better understanding of their needs and circumstances. The information gathered will help inform the occupational therapy process and ensure a tailored approach to the patient's alert program. What is the patient's medical history? Are there any specific challenges or limitations the patient faces? What are their personal goals and aspirations for the alert program?
Conduct initial assessment of the patient's alertness levels
This task involves assessing the patient's current alertness levels to establish a baseline and evaluate their starting point. The assessment will help determine the appropriate interventions and strategies for the alert program. How would you rate the patient's alertness on a scale of 1-5? What observable behaviors indicate their alertness levels? Are there any specific patterns or triggers that affect their alertness?
