Client education promotes the purpose of restoring optimal health in the client by helping them understand and implement behaviors to improve their health. It also promotes the purpose of helping the client cope with alterations in health status by providing them with knowledge and skills to manage their condition. Client education does not help the nurse to diagnose the client's illness early or be more aware of the client's health, but it does help the nurse be well-informed about the client's care.
