Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has multiple medication prescriptions and must take the medications at specific intervals when at home. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. It is important for the nurse to work with the client to devise a time schedule that is convenient for them on a daily basis because adherence to medication schedule is crucial for therapeutic effectiveness. By involving the client in the decision-making process, the nurse promotes adherence and empowers the client to take ownership of their health. Option A is incorrect as it promotes a lackadaisical approach to medication timing, which can lead to suboptimal outcomes. Option B suggests changing the schedule without considering the client's preferences. Option C is incorrect as it disregards the client's autonomy and may not be practical for them at home.
