What should I give when visiting a patient

When people visit a patient, they should bring some flowers or nutritional supplements. It is very bad to visit a patient empty-handed, but there are also some considerations about what to bring when visiting a patient. If the things you bring are inappropriate, the patient and his family may hold a grudge against you. For example, when bringing flowers, some flowers symbolize bad things, so you must choose the right flowers when visiting a patient. Let’s take a look at what to give when visiting a patient.

Sending flowers to a sick patient expresses care, sympathy, and wishes for the patient's safety and a speedy recovery. At this time, you should choose flowers with elegant colors and fragrances, such as gladiolus, orchids, kumquats, alstroemeria, roses and carnations. Avoid sending white, blue or black flowers. As the patient's mood is extremely complicated, be careful to avoid misunderstandings when sending flowers to the patient. Try to give the patient flowers that he or she likes or those that are more colorful. Never give white, blue or black flowers. Also pay attention to the numbers that should not be given: 4, 9, and 13. You can also choose carnations, roses, daffodils, orchids, etc., and match them with asparagus fern, baby's breath or lycopodium to wish you a speedy recovery.

There are many taboos when sending flowers to patients. When visiting a patient, do not send a whole pot of flowers, so as to avoid the patient misunderstanding that the illness has become serious. Flowers with strong fragrance are not good for surgical patients as they can easily cause coughing; flowers with too bright colors can irritate the patient's nerves and cause irritability; camellia flowers are prone to dropping buds and are considered unlucky. When visiting a patient, it is appropriate to give orchids, daffodils, calla lilies, etc., or choose the varieties that the patient usually likes, which will help the patient to relax and recover soon.

When visiting a patient at home, do not give him/her potted flowers as a gift, lest the patient misunderstand that the flower is a result of a long-term illness.

If you go to the hospital to visit a patient, you should pay attention to the variety and color of the flowers. It is advisable to choose brightly colored gladiolus, carnations, anthuriums, etc., and avoid using white, yellow chrysanthemums, birds of paradise, etc.
