What the Patient and Caregiver Must Know
Table 4 lists topics that patients and
caregivers must understand in order to use this
device successfully. Some of these topics do
not apply to some patients, and some patients
may require more information. It is the
responsibility of the physician or clinical
educator to ensure that the patient and
caregiver understand the appropriate topics.
