How Can Nurses Educate Patients About Side Effects?
Patient education is key to effective side effect management. Nurses should:
- Provide Clear Instructions: Explain the medication regimen and potential side effects in simple terms. - Use Educational Materials: Utilize pamphlets, videos, and other resources. - Encourage Questions: Create an open environment for patients to ask questions. - Follow-Up: Schedule follow-up appointments to reassess and address any concerns.
