When educating a patient about their care plan, I ensure that I use simple language and avoid medical jargon.

Using teach-back methods can also be beneficial, as it confirms their understanding and engages them in their care, empowering them to manage their health effectively.

If I noticed a colleague making a mistake, I would calmly address the situation by discussing my observations privately with them to confirm the issue. I would ensure the patient’s safety first and assist in correcting the mistake if needed.
