With new drugs coming out all the time, I keep my drug book available. After looking them up over and over it starts to stick! Never feel embarrassed about asking or looking up a drug, side effects or interactions.

I agree with using pictures. It's for the staff to learn and help the patient better by remembering the important things to remember. The pictures are not to be used by the patient.

Good going, FunGi....a general calling for everyone to "Stop and Think" and "Let's Go Back to the Original Question/Issue".

I agree..I see this as no different than a nursing student drawing a pic of a Depressed person, which lists possible signs and symptoms of Depression to refer back to for future reference.

For me, I just had to look up the meds and researched them in my free time, drug cards are also a wonderful idea and resource!
