Abstract
With the growing number of clients transferred out of the intensive care units (ICUs) following increasingly shorter stays, time constraints have become a barrier to effective teaching. Written information that is readily available to clients helps resolve this problem. A pamphlet (in Spanish and English) was developed to ease the move for patients, families, and critical care and medical nurses from a medical ICU (MICU) to a general floor.
