What Role Does Disease Pathology Play in Patient Education?
Patient education is a cornerstone of nursing care. Nurses must explain complex concepts in understandable terms: - Nature of the Disease: Describing the condition, its causes, and how it affects the body. - Treatment Options: Discussing available treatments, their benefits, and potential side effects. - Self-Care: Teaching patients how to manage their conditions at home, including medication adherence and lifestyle changes. - Prevention: Advising on measures to prevent disease recurrence or complications.
