Since it first published in 1982, Instructions for Patients has won critical acclaim and enjoyed broad popularity in one edition after another by providing ready-to-use self-care instructions for the 500 medical problems encountered most often in practice. Now, a special Spanish version makes all of this resource's advantages available to Spanish-speaking patients. Review of the English Version: "An effective patient education adjunct for the practising physician...The indicated material can be quickly copied right in the office, much to patients' satisfaction." --Journal of the American Board of Family Practice The instruction sheets can easily be copied, personalized, and handed to patients to educate them about their conditions, improve compliance, and speed recovery. Each instruction sheet provides concise, basic information on a particular condition's signs and symptoms, causes, preventive, and complications. Then, it presents clear guidelines concerning medication and activity. Finally, it instructs patients to contact the doctor's office immediately if certain warning signs appear. All this information appears on a single page for convenient reference. Instruction sheets are organized in alphabetical order by English title. A Spanish translation is printed below each English title. Separate Spanish and English tables of contents and indexes are provided, to make the desired instruction sheets easy to find. Non-Spanish-speaking practitioners will need both the Spanish version and the 5th English edition of Instructions for Patients in order to understand what the Spanish version's instruction sheets say.
