Nurses can adopt various strategies to make information more accessible to patients:
Use Layman's Terms: Replace medical jargon with everyday language. Visual Aids: Utilize diagrams, charts, and videos to explain conditions and treatments. Teach-Back Method: Ask patients to repeat the information in their own words to ensure understanding. Written Instructions: Provide handouts with clear and concise instructions for home care. Personalized Communication: Tailor the information to meet the unique needs and literacy levels of each patient.
