Medication Adherence Before and After a Stay in Critical Care: What Nurses Need to Know

[摘要] The last time you admitted a patient into your unit and asked about the medications he was taking, did you inquire whether he took each of those medications in the manner in which they were prescribed, that is, that he took them every day, at the right time(s), with or without copious water, with or without food, with or without maintaining a particular body position for a certain time, with or without ingesting other potentially synergistic or antagonistic or incompatible medications or supplements? Or did you assume, as most of us likely would do, that the patient self-administered each of his prescribed medications as directed? Why might you pause to even consider these questions?
