title: Evaluation of nursing documentation of patient teaching.
abstract: The preprinted interdisciplinary care plan is an effective tool in increasing the documentation of patient teaching onto the patient education record; however, when combined with praise and chart audits, the preprinted document becomes even more effective. This study indicates that reinforcement in the form of a preprinted care plan combined with inservice education and audit increases documentation of patient education more than the use of the preprinted document alone.
