1... Even under the best of conditions, patients will forget one-third of what is said to them and 50% of specific instructions. The home care nurse should respond by telling the patient that she will go over the procedure with her. The home care nurse should not tell the patient that maybe she should not have come home yet. The home care nurse should not question the patient’s memory or ask for other information that the patient has forgotten.
