We use an "activity cart" at one of our campuses. We offer ear plugs, stress balls, sleep masks, lip balm, hand sanitizer, magnifying rulers (for reading), puzzle books, adult coloring books with colored pencils, and crossword books. These volunteers are also asked to do a quick visual check of the room - overflowing trash, dishware from meals, etc. And are asked to check in with the patient to see if they need anything. These needs are then passed along at the nurses station.
