I have extensive experience in cardiac rehab, having worked in a leading hospital for five years. My role involved developing personalized exercise plans, monitoring patients during workouts, and educating them on lifestyle changes. I've successfully helped numerous patients improve their cardiac health and reduce the risk of future heart issues through tailored rehab programs.

I approach resistant patients with empathy and patience, understanding their fears and concerns. I focus on building trust by explaining the benefits of rehab in a non-threatening way, using real-life success stories. Additionally, I collaborate with the patient's family and physician to create a supportive environment that encourages participation in the rehab program.

Motivation is key in cardiac rehab. I use a combination of positive reinforcement, setting achievable goals, and celebrating small victories to keep patients engaged. Regularly updating their exercise plans to match their progress and involving them in decision-making helps maintain their interest and commitment to their health.

In a busy setting, I prioritize tasks based on patient needs and urgency. I maintain a structured schedule but remain flexible to adapt to emergencies or sudden changes. Using efficient time management techniques and delegating tasks when necessary ensures that all patients receive timely and appropriate care.

One challenging case involved a patient with severe anxiety about exercising post-heart attack. I resolved this by gradually introducing physical activity, starting with simple breathing exercises and slowly progressing. I also provided continuous emotional support and involved the patient's family to create a more comfortable environment, ultimately helping the patient overcome their anxiety and successfully complete the rehab program.
