Do you feel OK?

Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition provides over 500 scholarly full-text journals focusing on nursing, allied health fields, and many medical disciplines. Patient education sheets from the Lexi-PAL Drug Guide are also included.
I went looking for the 'Patient education sheets from the Lexi-PAL Drug Guide'. A simple search for 'patient education sheets' turned up a plethora of articles, none that met my preconceived notion on what a 'patient education sheet' would look like. When I read the words, 'patient education sheets', I think of a pdf, a single sheet handout with illustrations.

The publications link in Health Source lets me search by title, by clicking on the first letter of the title, and by scrolling through the whole list. I selected the letter L, then looked for  Lexi-Pal Drug Guide. There are two issues of the Drug Guide. The results do not match my preconceived notion. The 'patient education sheet' is an html view of an article on the drug. It seems clear and informative. It requires scrolling through multiple screens.

I wonder why they refer to it as a 'patient education sheet'?
