Teaching guides

Hi all. New to home health, even thought I LOVE teaching patients about their diseases and treatments and medicines. It would be wonderful to have a guide to give them to read as well. Do any of you have any links, or suggestions on where to find such a thing as teaching guides for patients? I have already done a google search. Limited results. So if you have anything up your sleeve I would be forever grateful.

Things have been better this week. Yesterday and Monday were the worst days. Monday 8 patients. 2 dicharges, one SOC, supervisory, and 4 regular visits. Yesterday, 3 visits but they took all day. 2 SOC and one discharge. Left at 8am didn't get home until 10:30pm. It sucked.

ANyway teaching guides would be appreciated. Anything I can just print and give to the patient to the back up of my verbal teaching.

Thanks in advance

Ask at your agency first. They are supposed to have this material available. At one of mine, an office person spent some time looking stuff up on the internet and printing it up for us. I bought several patient teaching books many years ago when I was just starting out and copy this stuff if it is not outdated. Otherwise I am always on the lookout for info from links that I find here, or on medscape, webmd, drug inserts from meds, etc.

I found alot of great resources on the web...unfortunatly my computer crashed so I can't share any of them. :o
