Impact of Health Literacy
After watching the video, please discuss the following:

User: n/a –       Added: 8/27/10       
Patients in the video 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?
