Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 21   EBP 3034 short lesson, about 20 seconds

A Lay Audience, Not a Professional One

Captions available

The idea

Media audiences are general, so use the language of health literacy rather than of the profession, and replace a term that needs defining rather than defining it.

In practice

Saying a bedsore rather than a pressure injury, and losing nothing that matters to the listener.

Where people slip

Precision that costs comprehension is not precision here. The audience cannot ask what a word meant.
