What Role Does Patient Education Play in Cognitive Function?
Patient education is critical in managing cognitive function. Nurses educate patients and their families about the nature of cognitive impairments, treatment options, and strategies to cope with cognitive changes. This education empowers patients and their caregivers to make informed decisions and participate actively in care. Providing resources and support for lifestyle modifications, such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and mental exercises, can also promote cognitive health.
