TIPS: Heart Failure & Low Vision Heart Failure Personal Action Plan Steps for managing your heart failure symptoms: [ [ [ [ [ [ [

] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Take my MEDICATIONS as ordered by my doctor.

Exercise and stay ACTIVE. Check my WEIGHT daily and take action right away if my weigh increases.

Decrease the amount of sodium and fluids in my DIET and avoid alcohol.

Monitor myself for SYMPTOMS and take action right away when they occur.

See my DOCTOR regularly.

My next Doctor Appointment is: _______________________________________________ []

Ask my doctor how home healthcare may help manage my heart failure.

Common LOW VISION Courtesies & Considerations: Low vision may be due to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, and stroke. [ ] Announce yourself whenever you enter or leave the room, especially when you are holding a conversation. [ ] Speak directly to the person using a normal tone of voice. To avoid confusion, call the person by name and/or touch them lightly on the arm. [ ] Always explain what you are going to do before you begin. Proceed in an orderly sequential manner. [ ] Request permission if you need to touch the person to provide guidance or assistance i.e. when guiding their hand to illustrate a technique. []

Be specific in directions, i.e. "Your magnifier is on the left side of the lamp."

[ ] If in doubt about how to help, just ask the person. Allow them to voice their needs. []

Do not arrange or rearrange the space of a person with visual impairment.
