Inability to read health content often means that patients cannot read the
information nurses or doctors send home with them about their disease,
the medications they are taking, and important things they need to know.
Recent research suggests that written information given to most patients
should be written at a fifth- to seventh-grade level to make it more likely
that they will understand.
