Impact of Health Literacy
We will write a custom paper specifically for you.
Patients describe hiding their lack of health literacy from their providers due to shame. Describe a way that you can develop a “shame-free” attitude in your practice when teaching patients?
- What is informed consent? Are the consents that patients sign at a 5th grade reading level? Do patients truly understand the risks benefits?
- Do you consider health literacy when providing discharge instructions? Explain how the materials used for discharge teaching might be improved upon?
