This brochure explains the prevalence of health literacy and methods for recognizing and addressing it in order to encourage client-centered practice. It addresses how assumptions are often made as to a clients’ character when they mismanage medication or miss appointments, but it may actually be due to their poor health literacy. Suggestions are provided to improve client-centered practice and reduce assumptions when working with older adults.
