Patients should feel encouraged to ask their nurses questions to better understand their health and treatment. Some important questions include:
What is my diagnosis, and what does it mean? What are my treatment options, and what are the potential side effects? How should I take my medications, and what should I do if I miss a dose? Are there any lifestyle changes I should make to improve my health? What symptoms should I watch for, and when should I seek medical help? How can I manage my condition at home?
