Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 1 MAS 011 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Reinforcing Patient Teaching
Captions available
The idea
In the nursing text's terms, assistive personnel do not originate patient teaching, but they can reinforce teaching already given.
In practice
If the provider has explained a new inhaler, you can remind the patient of the steps and encourage them to follow the plan.
Where people slip
New teaching that needs clinical judgment goes back to the provider; where a protocol assigns you teaching, follow it exactly.
