My Medication

I've developed an aid to explain to a patient with aphasia why it is important she takes her medication. The patient was not complying with medication and very frustrated about her lack of control in the hospital environment. I am working to ensure she understands more about her stroke and why she needs to be in hospital so that she will engage more with activities on the ward.
