If the treatment prescribed for the patient is to recieve time-bound (three times a day - 08:00, 14:00, 22:00) broad sprectrum intravenous antibiotic treatments then enure that this happens at the times prescribed. Do not present a medical stringe to the patient and ask “have you had this injection yet” as the patient will not know what this injection is for and his records should show you whether, or not, he has had this injection. Do not provide a bed in a shared room of four where three of the patients have very extreme, and complicated, medical conditions and need around the clock treatment which which means that the patient cannot sleep due to ongoing movement in the room - the patient may not have slept for 6 nights previously due to their own condition and needs sleep as part of their recovery treatment. Do not allow any patients personal television to be switched on all night, especially when the patient is asleep and the ward staff are aware but choose to ignore. The patient should not have to ask 3 times when he might expect to receive his last timebound intravenous antibiotic, due at 22:00, eventually received at 23:45 after numerous requests. The patient should not have to ask 3 times for the medical socks, as prescribed by the patients ward doctor/consultant, to ensure good blood circulation during treatment.
