Abstract
Chronic conditions effect 60% of the nation's population and account for 90% of healthcare dollars spent (Irving, 2017). Patient education is a key element in reducing readmissions. Nurses have an obligation to effectively educate patients in a way they understand. Research demonstrates that teach-back positively impacts patient literacy and adherence.
