Respond to discussion How can you assist

Respond to discussion How can you assist patients with medication compliance/adherence? Patient education is an important aspect of medication prescription which helps improve medication adherence among patients. Patients should be involved in decision-making at the prescription level to ensure that they feel an obligation to adhere to their treatment plan as they are well-informed about what is entailed (Costa et al., 2015). The nurse should address any issues that the patient may have concerning their prescription to avoid non-adherence due to limited information. The nurse should also explain the prescription properly including the dosage, frequency of use, side effects, contraindications, and issues that may warrant emergency medical care (Costa et al., 2015). This ensures that the patient does not stop taking their medication after experiencing undesirable effects that are otherwise normal after they experience positive outcomes, especially in the case of patients with chronic conditions.
