A patient takes a cardiac medication that has a very narrow therapeutic range. The primary care NP learns that the particular brand the patient is taking is no longer covered by the patient's medical plan.
 
  The NP knows that the bioavailability of the drug varies from brand to brand. The NP should: a. contact the insurance provider to explain why this particular formulation is necessary.
  b. change the patient's medication to a different drug class that doesn't have these bioavailability variations.
  c. accept the situation and monitor the patient closely for drug effects with each prescription refill.
  d. ask the pharmaceutical company that makes the drug for samples so that the patient does not incur out-of-pocket expense.
