Effective written communication skills are key to productive and efficient care of patients.

A badly written note may be interpreted as clumsy and disrespectful. The patient may feel uncertain of the quality of service he is given.

The healthcare practitioners should choose words that are precise and meticulous because it can be the basis to which patients understand and manage their condition. A medical assistant should ensure that the note is written clearly and properly by checking that the words are understood (especially medical terms), literal, explicit,specific.

The medical assistant should discuss the written communication with its  author, verifying the content. It is best to have the author discuss the written communication to the recipient. If not possible, ask approval to represent. Discuss to the patient the contents of the written communication, answering questions that patient may ask and ask questions to the patient to check understanding.

How can hypertension be prevented?
Ludmilka [50]
Hypertension can be prevented by all of the above.

Hypertension is basically high blood pressure. Although it is a serious thing that can increase strokes, heart diseases, and kidney diseases, you may hear people say, 'calm down, your blood pressure is going up'. Hypertension can definitely be prevented by a balanced diet (can keep your blood pressure under control), regular exercise (doctors say to for 30 minutes each week if one has high blood pressure), and having a healthy weight (weight is crucial with hypertension).
