Adult education. The cornerstone of patient teaching.
Patient teaching is necessary for good nursing care. Nurses cannot learn for patients, but they can facilitate learning by incorporating concepts of adult education into their teaching. Both the educational and nursing processes are based on the steps in the problem-solving approach: assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating. Special attention to assessment and evaluation are necessary to achieve the desired change in behavior.
