Question: 1 / 140

A hospital is working to reduce readmissions. Which of the following is the best approach to accomplish this goal?

giving an education sheet on patient medication to the patient and family

having the patient provide return demonstration of the knowledge provided

Having the patient provide a return demonstration is the best approach because it actively engages the patient and ensures they have a solid understanding of their medication and care instructions. Providing an education sheet (option A) may not guarantee that the patient or family has actually read or understood the information. Requesting the home health nurse to provide instruction (option C) may not be as effective as having the patient directly involved in their own education. Showing a video (option D) may not be as interactive or as personalized as having the patient demonstrate their understanding. Overall, option B allows for clearer communication and potential for better adherence to medications and care instructions, ultimately leading to a better chance of reducing readmissions.
