Topic #: 1
During a discharge planning of an educated 79-year-old woman, the patient expresses concern to the nurse about how she will remember taking the medications recently prescribed.
What is the BEST intervention that can be incorporated by the nurse in the discharge plan?
The best intervention for helping an educated 79-year-old woman remember to take her medications is to provide a weekly pill box and develop a written medication schedule. This approach empowers the patient to manage her medications independently, reducing the risk of non-compliance. Asking a family member to administer medications or referring the patient to a care home might not be necessary if the patient can manage with simple tools. Consulting the physician to reduce or combine medications is an option but does not address the immediate need for a practical solution to medication management.
