Reminiscing: How to Create a Memory Board

On one of my units, I do something similar to this but I place them in a shadow box in each patients room. I ask a variety of questions and then I type the questions and the patients answers up adding pictures of relative things from their answers and place them in their shadow box. Then patients and families can add pictures and fun things from home in the shadow box too. Staff Love them as the information is great conversation starters especially for folks that are quiet and maybe having a difficult time adjusting or socializing with others!

Hi, I am doing preference boards in our patients rooms, what questions have you used to help make staff aware of patient preferences?
