9. Patient and caregiver teaching

Document each teaching point with topic, method, audience, and measured mastery (teach-back percentage or return-demonstration result), per Foundations — Teach-back and return demonstration.

  • Home blood-pressure self-measurement with return demonstration: cuff size and placement, rest, position, timing, and logging.
  • Home weight monitoring: same scale, time, and clothing, with logging and the report threshold.
  • Pulse-oximeter and temperature self-monitoring when appropriate: timing, interpretation, and escalation.
  • The patient-specific report thresholds for each monitored parameter and whom to call.
  • Why the trend matters — reporting a direction of change, not only a single out-of-range value.
