Nurses can adopt several strategies to ensure they are using plain language: - Use Simple Words: Avoid medical jargon and opt for common terms. For example, instead of saying "hypertension," say "high blood pressure." - Short Sentences: Keep sentences short and to the point. - Active Voice: Use active voice rather than passive voice to make instructions clearer. - Organize Information: Present information in a logical order, often using bullet points or numbered lists.
