Without proper education, a patient may go home and resume unhealthy habits or ignore the management of their medical condition. These actions may lead to a relapse and a return to the hospital. To educate patients, nurses may instruct patients about the following:
Self-care steps they need to take.
Why they need to maintain self-care.
How to recognize warning signs.
What to do if a problem occurs.
Who to contact if they have questions.
Discuss two (2) disease processes, procedures, or medications that you will most likely give extended education on to your client population. Use the list above to justify your education.
Example: When taking this medication, you should first check your heart rate. It is important to protect your heart from overwork and this medication will help to prevent enlarged heart with less pumping ability. If you become short of breath or find it difficult to walk around or do any functional activity, you should call your provider immediately. If you find you have difficulty breathing, return to the emergency room. If you have any questions, please contact XXX for information.
