Safety is paramount when recommending physical activities for patients. Key considerations include:
- Assessment: Conduct a thorough assessment to determine the patient’s baseline fitness level and any contraindications. - Supervision: Ensure that activities are supervised, especially for patients with mobility issues or those recovering from surgery. - Environment: Ensure that the environment is safe and free from hazards that could cause falls or injuries. - Hydration and Nutrition: Advise patients to stay hydrated and maintain proper nutrition to support their activity levels.
