Health Education & Health Promotion: Health education is a very important part in health promotion. When trying to help a patient with health promotion it is very important to educate them first. If they are not educated on how to be healthy they may not be able to change. First you need to assess their level of health literacy. Assess the family’s level on health literacy because this is a very underused information source (Prom-Wormley, et al., 2021). A lot of people need the education to make the positive change. The nursing process comes in handy when developing health education. Health Education & Health Promotion
First you need to see at what level the patient is on. They need to be able to understand what you are teaching them. Then you need to diagnose where the patient needs help in with learning.
