Patient education books

Published

Does anyone have good suggestions for a book for pt ed? I've been a nurse for years and am back in school and though I know several things, I would like a reference for areas I don't know anything about.

I highly recommend you use material provided by your facility, many use websites such as Krames or UpToDate.

The information is printable and often includes diagrams/pictures and is written in easy to understand terms. It also comes in variety of languages.

It's also a great resource for yourself. I catch myself referencing it on occasion before doing some patient education.

Where I work as an LPN, I have many resources. However as an RN student, I don't have the same access. When looking for some info on preterm labor for a project, I was told to "look on the internet". That's fine unless I'm not sure of the credibility of the source. Also, it's nice to have something to get ideas from. Thanks for your suggestions though :)
