Screenings or Diagnostic Testing: how can we check for this disease, how were they diagnosed 
Pharmacological Needs/Treatment: Medications or procedures needed to treat disease
Signs and symptoms of exacerbation: What should the patient monitor themselves for that would be a sign they were getting worse and not better
Support Systems: What organizations/meetings in this region might the patient attend or contact to receive help (money for treatment costs/mental health support/research/etc.)
 Preventive measures: Include and describe examples of what the patient or anyone can do to prevent this disease? 
Create a professional google slide presentation you could print and use as to teach your patient. The first slide should include the disease name, the patient name, and your name. The last slide should include 3 sources in alphabetical order. Include throughout your presentation where you used each source.  
Make sure this is written in "patient friendly" terminology. Do not use terminology that your patient might not understand. Pictures are also helpful in explaining things.
