2 -- Provider-patient relationships seem to have the most influence on adherence behavior. The nurse should talk with the patient about not adhering to the medication schedule. Confronting the patient would lead to alienation. There is nothing in the question to suggest that nausea is a side effect of the medication. There is no reason to assume that the noncompliance is due to a financial reason.
