In Patient Education And Compliance With Older Adults 4
Unlike in the ancient days, patients in modern society have a role and control over their health because they can address their views and opinions. Thus, in the contemporary world, physicians do not act like small ‘gods’ who know and have the final say about a patient’s health; instead, they involve the patients in effective communication and negotiation to discuss patients’ health and possible medication (Orchard, n.d). Patient education involves establishing medication decisions that will work effectively for the patient, physician, and family of the patients. Negotiation helps in patient education because it allows physicians to learn about their culture, beliefs, and values before prescribing any medication. Negotiation identifies areas of agreement and disagreement and provides a forum for discussing solutions. While some health care professionals do not agree with negotiation, patient education can only be as effective as a patient’s willingness and ability to carry out the prescribed recommendations.
For instance, while making and teaching patients about important health decisions, such as quitting smoking, negotiation and face-to-face communication prove more effective (Eisemann, Wagner, & Reece, 2018). Unlike public awareness through platforms, such as awareness campaigns and mass media, negotiation and effective communication prevent and encourage the victims to quit smoking. Nurses’ main role and aim in the health sector is to provide quality and patient-centered healthcare. This is possible upon understanding the patient; therefore, negotiation and effective communication help patient education and provide quality healthcare minimize hospital readmissions (Contributor, 2019). Moreover, during the negotiation processes, the patient’s family also learns some of the essential activities to undertake, especially in the case of genetic diseases, to reduce the probability of contracting such diseases.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
