Nurses play a pivotal role in enhancing patient understanding through various strategies: - Effective Communication: Use clear and simple language free of medical jargon. - Educational Materials: Provide pamphlets, videos, and online resources tailored to the patient's condition. - Teach-Back Method: Ask patients to repeat the information in their own words to ensure they have understood it correctly. - Cultural Sensitivity: Be mindful of cultural differences and provide information in a culturally appropriate manner. - Follow-Up: Arrange follow-up appointments or calls to address any further questions and reinforce understanding.
