Q1. I would do a mixture of the last 2 answers, offer to show Charles how the app works during the appointment. If it is accessible for Charles, provide the information in an alternative format. Also tell Charles that he needs to go home and practice with it and see if it is useful. At his next appointment if it is not working then you will change the plan.
Q2. I would 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. exercise is important and helps in the treatment of AF.
Q3. I would 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. I would also advise Charles of the AF has on stroke and offer advice on way he could help himself to reduce the risk, for example exercise, giving up smoking.
