Practice Question

A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has several new prescriptions for psychotropic medications. The client tells the nurse that she has always had trouble following a medication regimen. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"Let's work together to dev-se a schedule that is convenient for you on a daily basis."

Rationale:

🤝 This response demonstrates therapeutic communication and promotes collaboration, respecting the client’s autonomy while addressing the barrier. It focuses on creating a realistic, individualized plan that supports medication adherence, which is especially important with psychotropic medications.

🤝 Telling the client to “work hard” is judgmental and not supportive.

🤝Dismissing past struggles with "you'll do fine" invalidates the client’s experience.

🤝Asking "why" can feel confrontational and may put the client on the defensive.
