The patient can participate in their care and make their own decisions thanks to the role that health education plays in health promotion. The nurse's job involves more than just instructing and educating patients; it also entails being aware of every scenario and difficulty the patient might face. According to Falkner (2018) For many and diverse patient populations, health promotion is a crucial part of nursing care and the social determinants of health (SDOH) that have an impact on health and wellness generally are included in health promotion, which goes beyond disease management and education. The nursing process is used in developing health education by assessing each patient individually and catering to their individual educational needs for a successful outcome during their stay and upon discharge. An illustration that Falkner (2018) mentions of health education for health promotion is giving discharge instructions to a patient before they leave the hospital and head home and, the patient's new prescriptions, when to take them, any potential adverse effects, who to contact with any questions or concerns, and the value of attending follow-up appointments may all be discussed by the nurse. A contemporary issue globally that a family experience today would be safety issues. The nurse must advise households, especially those with young children, to keep cabinet doors with chemicals secured with safety locks. Another example would be to lock the medicine cabinet and keep it up high where youngsters cannot access it. The nurse can address the patient's requirements by using the nursing assessment section that consists of Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implement, and Evaluate also known as (ADPIE) while he or she is with the patient and moving forward from there. The nurse may enhance her knowledge by joining Pediatric Health Solutions. According to the Children's Hospital Association (2018) the program previously mentioned allows health care professionals to sign up and delivers online training materials that are focused on the knowledge and abilities that professionals need to treat pediatric patients with safe and efficient care.
