The patient is receiving a sustained-release capsule for his cardiac condition. The patient tells the nurse there is no way he can swallow such a large pill. What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. Withhold the medication and contact the physician.
  2. Place the capsule on the back of the patient's tongue, and have him drink a full glass of water.
  3. Open the capsule and sprinkle the contents over applesauce.
  4. Encourage the patient to try and swallow the capsule because it is the best medication for his heart condition.
