To enhance patient teaching for an 85-year-old male, it is important to face the patient directly and speak clearly in a quiet place. This helps the patient to hear and understand the information better. Displaying the medication close to the family while teaching or telling the family members they will need to administer the medication may create confusion and anxiety for the patient. Speaking slowly, using repetition, and paraphrasing is helpful, but the primary intervention should be to ensure clear communication by facing the patient directly and speaking clearly.
