An urgent care nurse is triaging clients. Which client statements may indicate that medications are

An urgent care nurse is triaging clients. Which client statements may indicate that medications are being misused?

1. “I was feeling really great so I stopped taking my antibiotic and now I feel feverish.”
2. “My retirement check didn’t come in over the holiday weekend so I didn’t have the money to get my antihypertension medication refilled. I just took one every other day instead of every day.”
3. “I really thought I would get better quicker if I took the medication four times a day instead of two times a day. Now, I have diarrhea.”
4. “The schedule is pretty complicated but my daughter-in-law got me a pill dispenser and that helps to keep me on schedule.”
5. “I’ve had to borrow the money from my daughter to get my medication, but I always seem to find a way to get it.”
