Gesture & etiquette
Approach at eye level with a calm, concerned (not alarmed) expression; place a gentle hand on the back of their hand or nearby if appropriate; stay with them while you assess — never leave someone who appears unwell alone.
Observing changes in complexion, energy, or expression is a key caregiving skill — many significant health changes are visible in the face before any symptoms are verbalized. After asking, listen carefully and document what you observe. Report any concerning change to medical staff promptly, noting the time and any associated behavior.
