HOME
NURSING
CARE
FOR
COMMON DISEASES OFTHE
ELDERLY
Elderly patients with
chronic
diseases
require also
good
nursing
care
at
home.
Coronaries demand
rest
during
the
acute stage;
afterwards,
gradual introduction
of exercises;
reduc-
tion
of
excessive
calories
and
fat,
especially
animal
ones; relrain
from
smoking and
excessive drinking;
comply
to medication; angina medication, kept
at
hand; avoid exertion, stress
and
overeating; control blood pressure, dia-
betes and gout. Hypertensive subjects
should
avoid stress,
overuork
or
intense
emotional
turmoil,
let alone smoking
and excessive drinking; avoid overeat-
ing and
too
much salt; take
regular
physical
exercises;
comply with
medi-
cation despite the
lack of
symploms.
No
special nursing care
is
required
for
uncomplicated
diabetes
but always be
on
the
lookout for complications
as
prompt medical care
is
required; appro-
priate diet
is
essential for good control;
monitoring
is best done
at
home, e.9.,
with urine sugar testing
strips. Finally,
those with paralysis should take excep-
tional
care when
there
is choking
on
swallowing,
lest
aspiration
pneumonia
develops;
use
postural drainage
to
clear
phlegm;turn the body regularly to avoid
bed sores; prevent foot-drop by adequate
support
lor
the feet; exercising of the
healthy side
ol
the body must not
be
forgotten;
after
strokes,
exercises for
the
alfected side
may
start
7-10
days
afterwards. Above all, be passionate;
restore patient's faith to ensure persis-
tent
exercises.
