Preparing a patient for an EEG involves several steps: 1. Patient Education: Explain the procedure, its purpose, and what to expect. Address any concerns or questions the patient might have. 2. Pre-Procedure Instructions: Instruct the patient to avoid caffeine and follow any specific guidelines related to food, drink, or medications. They may also be asked to wash their hair and avoid using hair products. 3. Baseline Health Check: Perform a baseline health assessment to ensure the patient is fit for the procedure.
