List three purposes for educating patients in self-care

Patient self-care education is surely important because the patient is the only person who is present 24/7.  Patient has to have a good idea of how to care for self.  An educated patient will be able to cooperate responsibly with physicians, knowing what info must be given, ready to provide it, saving the physician's time.  With self-care education, a patient may be more responsible to act wisely in terms of diet, exercise and other factors that facilitate regaining health. hope this helps
