Step-by-step explanation:
A lack of cognitive information or psychomotor ability needed for health restoration, preservation, or health promotion is identified as a knowledge deficit. Knowledge plays an influential and significant part of a patient’s life and recovery. It may include any of the three domains: cognitive domain (intellectual activities, problem-solving, and others); affective domain (feelings, attitudes, belief); and psychomotor domain (physical skills or procedures). It is the duty of the nurse to determine with the patient what to teach, when to teach, and how to teach certain matters and concerns on health. Adult learning principles guide the teaching-learning process.
Physicians have an important role in patient education. However, physicians are not alone in educating patients. This is where nurses get in the manner of offering patient education as a way of providing nursing care to obtain the best outcomes for their patients. Patient education should always be made available in the healthcare setting. A patient is considered most effective when information is accessible whenever it is needed.
