Caregivers should not administer medication, change bandages, treat wounds, operate medical equipment, diagnose, or explain the illness without authorization. If the patient experiences difficulty breathing, severe pain, lethargy, falls, or exhibits any unusual symptoms, the caregiver should immediately notify a nurse, doctor, or family member, depending on the circumstances.
Many people think that caring for an elderly person is a simple task, something that can be done simply by being healthy. However, in reality, it requires skill and sensitivity.
