Gesture & etiquette
Show the BP cuff or thermometer briefly before applying it — this visual preview reduces surprise. Place your hand gently on the senior's arm or hand as you prepare, which offers reassurance.
Narrating each care procedure before performing it reduces the senior's anxiety and builds trust. Using 「〜しますね」(I'll do X, okay?) is a gentle, reassuring form that announces action without sounding authoritative or abrupt.
