Health literacy is very important when it comes to
communication with clients. It is imperative that as clinicians we make sure
that our clients are aware of the information that we are sharing with them. Often
times, many individuals are completely unaware of the health condition, the
treatment, and even their role the situation. A video shown in class displayed
how many people weren’t able to read and did not understand when to even take
their prescription medicine. To mind the gap in health literacy, we must look
for cues and follow up with our clients to make sure they understand the basic
health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.
