Privacy and confidentiality are often needed during patient care and consultation. Give the patient and staff the opportunity for privacy by offering to leave the room during those times. Children are welcome visitors but they should be able to cooperate with visiting guidelines. Children need adult supervision throughout the visit for their safety as well as the safety and comfort of patients. Call the patient before visiting if you are sick or check with the nurse to see if it is wise to visit the patient.
Patients often have special needs for food or fluids.
For example, the staff may be measuring or limiting how much fluid the patient drinks. Therefore, please check with the nurse before bringing or giving the patient extra food or fluids. To ensure their privacy and comfort, patient bathrooms are for use by patients only . There are public rest rooms throughout the hospital for visitors and staff. Patient rooms can comfortably accommodate two visitors at a time.
