Assessing and Addressing Health Literacy - 1 views

  •  
    Cornett, Sandy. "Assessing and Addressing Health Literacy." Online Journal of Issues in Nursing 14.3 (2009). EBSCOhost. Web. 24 Nov 2010. This article states that we must first be able to identify a patient with low health literacy to be able to communicate with them effectivly. This article gives guidance on how to identify a patients literacy level. It also states how to do things that can increase the overall levels of health literacy. It states that even if someone has high literacy levels that doesnt mean that they will always understand all of their health and health care information. Another idea that was brought up in this article is that one must also form a comfortable environment for patients to become more health literate.
