I’m a healthcare professional in a hospital. I’m tasked with creating a handout to explain a chronic disease(IN MY CASE, HIV/AIDS) to a newly diagnosed adult patient. I have attached a sample handout.
The handout should be simple, clear, and easy to understand. Each handout should be 2 pages, and include at least one paragraph each one of these items:
1. Explanation – What is the disorder?
2. Etiology – What is the main cause of the disorder? How is it diagnosed?
3. Signs and Symptoms – Explain common signs and symptoms of the disorder.
4. Risk Factors – Are there any risk factors involved in the disorder? Is the disorder preventable?
5. Treatment – How do you treat the disorder?
6. Nutritional Recommendations – What type of diet should a person with this disorder follow? What are common dietary recommendations? Are there foods that a person with this condition should avoid? Please include one sample meal (with portion sizes).
Feel free to include pictures, tables, or graphs to help construe the information.
