Feedback:
Individualized teaching plans vary depending on the prescribed drug, health care provider's preference for facts to include and exclude, and what the patient needs to know to take the drug correctly. Factors such as the patient's learning skills and the nurse's teaching abilities are not considered when formulating an individualized teaching plan.
