Begin and end each teaching session with the most important information when teaching older adult patients.Also,if using written material,assess the patient's ability to read and use information that is printed in large type and in a color that contrasts highly with the background (e.g.,black 14-point print on buff-colored paper).Avoid blues and greens because they are more difficult to see.Speak in a low tone of voice (lower tones are easier to hear than higher tones).Provide specific information in frequent,small (not large)amounts for older adult patients.
