Extract:
A nurse is reviewing the prescriptions for a client who is pregnant and is taking digoxin.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take to best evaluate the client's medication adherence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Check the client's serum medication level. This is the best action to evaluate medication adherence because it directly measures the concentration of the medication in the client's bloodstream. If the medication level is within the therapeutic range, it indicates that the client is taking the medication as prescribed. If the level is too low or too high, it suggests non-adherence or potential issues with medication absorption or metabolism.
Choice A is incorrect as determining the client's apical pulse rate does not directly assess medication adherence.
Choice B is less reliable as clients may not always provide accurate information about their medication adherence.
Choice C is unrelated to evaluating medication adherence.
