An older adult client is being discharged with multiple new prescriptions. Which strategies could the home health nurse employ to encourage adherence?


1. Communicate the purpose the new medications serve toward treatment of the condition.
2. Ensure the medication is dispensed in containers that are easily opened.
3. Make sure all drugs are clearly labeled with instructions.
4. Place daily follow-up phone calls to high-risk older clients.
5. Simplify the regimen to twice-a-day dosing and reduce the number of medications the older client must take.
