Health Literacy and Patient Education
Health Literacy and Patient Education Project:
Registered Nurses are responsible for patient education
that is based on an understanding of health literacy. Learners will explore health literacy and critically
evaluate an online educational item.
You must use the Readability Tool to determine readability levels. http://read-able.com/
You must use the framework at NIH: Evaluating Health Information on the Internet for your appraisal
https://ods.od.nih.gov/Health_Information/How_To_E…
stions_and_Answers.aspx
You must use a recent and scholarly journal article.
You may choose to use the textbooks, along with the other learning materials, from this course as
resources. The e-book Parnell (2014) is highly recommended as a resource for health literacy.
You are required to provide a definition or understanding of the concepts credibility and validity. You are
also required to apply these concepts within each of the NIH criterion noted in the grading rubric (see
below). To assist in applying the concepts of validity and credibility to the information found or not found
on the website or online patient education material you are critiquing, consider reviewing the following
websites to learn more about validity and credibility.

Learners will then create a PowerPoint Presentation that addresses health literacy issues and applies
principles while critiquing an online educational item. All the information is to be supported by current
research and references must be listed (have a reference list at the end of the PowerPoint). For this
assignment, cite the website, the Readability Test Tool, and at least one journal article. For detailed
information, see the grading rubric.
***Be sure to cite and reference all sources! In-text citations occur with the information being reported on
the slides. The matching full references should be found on a reference list at the end of the
