Guidelines for teaching the older adult.
The needs and abilities of the aged learner may change as a result of normal aging processes, and clinicians involved in patient education must remember and allow for these changes if effective teaching is to take place. Knowledge of the visual, auditory, psychological, and social changes, the functional outcome of each of these changes, and the implications for teaching will help clinicians maintain effective communication with and health-care delivery to this population. Guidelines for modified teaching aids and techniques are provided in the Clip & Carry.
