Q1: Charles is happy to use the AF App you have recommended but is struggling to access it and has asked you to help him during his appointment.
What would you do?
2. Offer to show Charles how the app works during the appointment. If it is accessible for Charles, provide the information in an alternative format – I would show Charles how to use the app during the appointment and also encourage him to practice as much as possible at home so that he is used to how the app works and can utilise it in the best way possible.

Q2: Charles is keen to return to riding his bike but is unsure when or if he can do this now.
What would you advise?
3. Advise Charles talks to the medical team and the senior nurses before undertaking this so that it is progressed and done at the right time – Charles should not be denied the things he enjoys as long as they can be done in a safe way. Advising him to talk to the medical team and senior nurses ensures that returning to bike riding will not have a significant negative impact on his health.

Q3. Charles is concerned about his risk of stroke in the future. He asks you about the signs of a stroke.
What do you say?
1. Direct Charles to the following advice, Face – does your face look different on one side? Arms – can you raise your arms? Speech – is your speech slurred or different? Time to act – call 999, get help – It is imperative that Charles is aware of the signs of a stroke and his risk of having a stroke. We have to be honest with him about his health by not making false promises about not having a stroke.
