I have coursework and I'm struggling, Can anybody help?

I am doing a subject where I have a case study, A man is going into a hospice for treating cancer patients. He's been assigned a nursing assistant to help him. The question is. What four ways can Andrew help Jim maintain a sense of Identity in the hospice?

So far I have is by having a reminiscence group and bringing photographs and letters in so that he has a sense of belonging.

I need two more ways that Andrew the nursing assistant can help Jim maintain a Sense of Identity?

Thanks for all your help!
