Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 5   EBP 0613 short lesson, about 20 seconds

The Words for Patients Count Equally

Captions available

The idea

The words used to guide a patient through a decision matter as much as the words used to discuss the clinical topic.

In practice

As much care taken over "preference" as over a laboratory value.

Where people slip

Clinical vocabulary is studied and decision vocabulary is assumed. Both are learned, and only one of them usually gets taught.
