We will be discussing the modalities of caring for an injured spouse under the following headings:

Medication

One of your most important responsibilities will be to either assist your spouse in compliance with prescriptions. Some people might need to buy alarm clocks to help them remember to follow up on this.

You also have to go a step further by reading on the possible side effects of the drugs your spouse is using. The reason why this is important is so that you can be observant and look out for the manifestation of such side effects in your spouse.

The moment you notice any side effect, you may have to contact your Doctor immediately.

Nutrition

Depending on the type of injury that your spouse has, a registered dietitian may recommend a dietary change. A dietary change will help the healing process.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your injured spouse complies with changes in diet like eating more fruits and veggies.

We have also noticed that some people generally lose appetite when they are ill or injured. It is essential that you find a way to help your spouse improve their diet.

Comfort

This period is quite crucial for your injured spouse as they may be in pain. You have to do everything in your ability to make them as comfortable as possible.

This may mean getting extra pillows for them or much more comfortable footwear in case of a foot injury. Also, keep the communication channel between you and your spouse open and offer them comforting words at every opportunity.
