Gesture & etiquette
Communicate face-to-face or by phone for important medical information; have the documentation ready in writing to hand over; speak clearly and confirm the family member has understood the change.
Communicate important medication changes promptly and in person or by phone, not just by text; defer all medical questions back to the doctor ('先生にご確認ください') — caregivers should not interpret medical decisions, only relay factual information clearly.
