How to Implement Teach Back?

Implementing teach back involves several steps:
Explain the Information Clearly: Use simple language and avoid medical jargon. Break down information into small, manageable chunks.
Ask for Understanding: Prompt the caregiver to explain what they have understood. For example, "Can you tell me how you will give this medication to your child?"
Listen and Assess: Carefully listen to their response to gauge their understanding. Look for any gaps or errors in their explanation.
Clarify and Re-explain if Necessary: If there are misunderstandings, clarify the information and ask them to repeat it again. This iterative process continues until you are confident they understand.
