Patient education will be taught or relay to the patient in trusting and clear instructions and always have a time of asking.Either the patient ask the health professional ask first the questions or you ask the question if there is a need of clarification. This is what I have been doing when I approach a patient. I get on my knees or sit right next to them. Asking the pertinent questions and in advance they leave the medical facility.

This also includes their beliefs if they need to move on to support what the health professional instructions or just go with belief not seek further medical treatment because it is not their belief or they are fully convinced by the health professionals patient education.Nevertheless, if a family supports and follows the instructions from the health professional it lessens our burden or task in hand. Because we have these supporting congregation that is willingly to assist you especially when saw your confidence, trust and motivation. (7) How might the family bring the compliance of the patient and what measures can the health care professional use in communication with the family The family can influence the patient compliance in many ways. The eagerness of the family in helping their sick love ones to the street of recovery.Because the family believes the health professionals explanation was clear and open of all question and suggestion. The best measure use in the communication is one on one with the patients family. Explaining to them all the procedures, what to expect after the procedures, the medications that will be prescribe to the patient and how to assist the patient in day-to-day task. Following it up by appointments and remi nding them a day foregoing of the follow up appointments. Psychosocial factors and patient education will always go down in hand to hand.It is how the health professional approach a patient in different stages. Adaptable and overcome. This is what I was been taught and learned when I was in military for 20 years. Always on the ready to any things that comes to you.
