Family members and caregivers can play a significant role in promoting physical comfort. Nurses should:
- Provide Education: Teach family members and caregivers about comfort measures and how they can assist in maintaining the patient's comfort. - Encourage Participation: Involve them in the patient's care routines, such as assisting with repositioning or providing emotional support. - Offer Resources: Provide information about available resources and support services that can help them care for the patient effectively.
