The most important thing to do is to keep changing postition so you do not get bed sores. A person in bed needs to turn at least every two hours. More often if they get red marks easily from pressure.
It's also important to eat a good diet, and get plenty of fluids.
Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have more questions.
