Properly educated patients are able to manage their medications regimens, fully engage and participate in their treatment plans, as well as comply with protocols to achieve the goal of safe quality care (Tamura-Lis, Winifred, 2013). Health literacy, which is is known to be “the ability to understand written, spoken, and numeric information and to make health care decisions based on an individual’s interpretation of this information”, is a vital component that must be carefully considered by all healthcare providers when constructing care-plans and providing education (Eadie, 2014, p.10). In order to care for and teach patients effectually and holistically, information must be consistently provided through comprehendible methods.
