Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client during a follow-up visit at a behavioral health clinic. The client reports that they have not been taking the prescribed antipsychotic medication on a regular basis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to improve medication adherence?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C. Ask the client if the medication is causing adverse effects.


Rationale: This is the correct answer because assessing for adverse effects can help identify potential reasons for non-adherence. By understanding if the medication is causing discomfort or unwanted side effects, the nurse can address these concerns and work with the client to find solutions, such as adjusting the dosage or trying a different medication.

Incorrect

Choices:
A: Discussing provider goals may not directly address the client's reasons for non-adherence.
B: Requesting a second medication may increase complexity and potential side effects without addressing the root cause of non-adherence.
D: Threatening admission to an inpatient facility is coercive and unlikely to address the underlying issues leading to non-adherence.
