Tip for Hospice Nurses: tip to help promote independence for your patients

Tip for Hospice Nurses: If you have a patient that can’t hold a cup of fluid without spilling, using a sippy cup can work great! Being able to drink independently will really improve their quality of life.

Anytime I see sippy cups on sale, I buy them and keep them in my car so I can give a couple to my patients who need them.

You want the cup to be spill resistant, but not spill-proof to avoid the pt having to suck the fluid out which increases the risk of aspiration. You can alter the cup so that the fluid will drip out.
