Write a 2-3 page review, double-spaced evaluation of your selected document as follows:

  • Introductory paragraph: This includes a brief description of the selected patient materials and why they have been selected. Address the following issues: Toward whom is this document directed? What is the age of the reader of this information? If the reader has disabilities, are they addressed to assist the reader? What ethnic/cultural groups do you interact with in your practice?
  • 2nd paragraph: Using the “Checklist for Easy-to-Understand Print Materials,” assess whether the document is easy to understand. Evaluate the document in each of the six areas: message content, text appearance, visuals, layout and design, translation, and understandability. For each area, provide a summary of your assessment according to the criteria given. Please note that you do not need to address whether the document has been pre- or post-tested.
  • 3rd and final paragraph: Suggest revisions to improve health literacy. Suggest one revision for each of the six areas.

Draft a revision of the patient document that you believe will enhance the health literacy level. Explain how your revisions are important for nursing practice. Your revision can be a new handout, flyer, or any written documentation that you would provide to the patient.
