using clear and simple language

How Can Clear Language Improve Patient Education?

Effective patient education is a cornerstone of nursing practice. When nurses use clear and simple language, they make complex medical information more accessible. For instance, rather than saying "You have hypercholesterolemia," a nurse could say, "Your cholesterol levels are high." This simplification helps patients understand their condition and what steps they need to take, such as dietary changes or medication management.
