Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing discharge teaching for Mrs. S after cardiac angioplasty. Her husband is present for the teaching. While explaining the prescription for antiplatelet medication to use at home, Mrs. S's husband states, 'I don't think I can afford to refill that medication.' What is the most appropriate response of the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The most appropriate response of the nurse is option B: "I'll ask the physician if he can prescribe a medication that is more affordable." This response demonstrates empathy towards the husband's concerns about affordability and shows willingness to explore alternative solutions. It acknowledges the financial constraint without making assumptions about insurance coverage or suggesting a specific program like Medicare. It also shows collaboration by involving the physician in finding a suitable alternative medication. The other choices are incorrect because they do not directly address the husband's affordability concern or offer a proactive solution to the issue.
