When you see a family member at bedside, you will ask them who they are, but that's not enough. Ask them - What time/How they came. - How long it took. - How often they come. - Who are other family. It won't take long, but believe me, it will help you tremendously.

@00a03d Bcz asking those Qs in itself shows you care for them. Their loved one is sick and admitted. They are worried and come from wherever they are to bedside. That should be acknowledged. They appreciate it and help you build a relationship. This never backfires.
