SINGAPORE – To ensure an 85-year-old patient was able to communicate with care staff clearly, advanced practice nurse Jessie Tan gave him a set of headphones and spoke into a microphone.
Mr Gan Chwee Tin was then able to converse with her and others in the ward at Yishun Community Hospital. After speaking with Ms Tan for some time, he consented to walking around the ward with assistance.
