Abstract
While most nurses recognize the educational needs of their patients, time has become a major deterrent to optimal teaching. This is especially true in critical care, where patients are being transferred earlier or directly discharged. Written information which is available to the patient at home can help to bridge this gap. Because "ready made" materials are limited and often costly, this article will discuss the steps of creating printed materials tailored to your patients' needs.Keywords
