Question #: 15
Topic #: 2
[All OMSB_OEN Questions]

During a discharge planning of an educated 79-year-old woman, the patient expresses concern to the nurse about how she will remember taking the medications recently prescribed.

What is the BEST intervention that can be incorporated by the nurse in the discharge plan?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The best intervention for helping an educated 79-year-old woman remember to take her medications is to provide a weekly pill box and develop a written medication schedule. This approach empowers the patient to manage her medications independently, reducing the risk of non-compliance. Asking a family member to administer medications or referring the patient to a care home might not be necessary if the patient can manage with simple tools. Consulting the physician to reduce or combine medications is an option but does not address the immediate need for a practical solution to medication management.

D) Consult the physician to shortlist the prescribed drugs or prescribe combined medications. Simplifying the medication regimen is key. Who needs a pharmacy in their kitchen when they can fit it all in a single pill?

B) Get the patient a weekly pill box and develop a written medication schedule. This is a great idea! I bet she'll remember her meds better than the nurse does her own.

A) Ask a family member to administer the medications to the patient. While this may be helpful, it takes away the patient's autonomy. The goal should be to empower the patient to manage her own care.
