Patient education in high-tech home care.
High-tech home care requires that nurses have intricate knowledge and skills to care for patients with complicated treatments and equipment. Yet the need for teaching skills is often overlooked. Home care professionals can teach patients to help in their own care if the professionals assess that patients are ready to learn and incorporate principles of adult teaching and learning.
