Get Up, Get Dressed, Get Moving (Poster A) Large (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public

We are committed to help you remain as active and independent as possible while you are in the hospital. Staying active improves breathing, appetite, sleep, and mood. Staying active reduces the chances of weakness, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, falls, and bed sores. Sit up as much as possible, change into clothes during the day, and take time each day to do some gentle exercise. (We thank Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for kindly agreeing to let us use their posters.) (English) Colour
