Care measures for patients with dizziness

Care measures for patients with dizziness include the following: i. If the dizziness is mainly due to cardiac arrhythmias, such as third-degree AV block, then the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure should be monitored in terms of care. Attention should also be paid to avoid falls and prevent fractures when the patient is dizzy. For bedridden patients, attention should be paid to regular turning to prevent the formation of pressure sores on the protruding parts of the body. Second, if a patient with cerebral infarction has dizziness, pay attention to asking the patient if he or she has choking on water or difficulty swallowing. If there is water choking and coughing and swallowing difficulties, encourage the patient to eat slowly, mainly with liquid and paste food. Try to eat less lumpy or hard food to avoid choking due to swallowing difficulties. Therefore, the nursing measures for dizzy patients are monitoring of vital signs, blood pressure, heart rate, eating habits, and then care to prevent falls and bed falls.
