In my own understanding, patient education is an important aspect of a nurse's career, as patient is

encouraged and empowered to improve health through education. Providing comprehensive and up-
to-date information to patients builds trust, strengthens the relationship between caregivers and, and
encourages patients to take ownership of their health care. I also noticed that nursing includes more
than medicines and treatments. As nurses, we inform customers / patients, provide knowledge about
the prevention and treatment of medical diseases, and preventive for patients to treat their diseases
and their own diseases. You are responsible for getting to know about the measures as long as it is still
manageable and the patient has sufficient information and knowledge to make more guided and
informed medical decisions.
