Answer:
The correct answer is D - "The majority of older patients who do not adhere to drug regimens do so intentionally."
Explanation:
Medication is often the first response to prevent and manage chronic illnesses and conditions in older adults, such as cognitive, sensorial decline, anxiety, depression. These are also factors that play a role in non-adherence to drug regimes. And although the majority of older patients who do not adhere do so intentionally, there are also a number of other reasons, such as:
• Uninformed views about the seriousness of their condition
• Denial of condition and the medication that it requires
• Assuming that once their symptoms are relived or their state improves, they no longer need the medication
• Not believing in the effectiveness of the drug regime
• Concern about the stigma attached to a certain condition
• The fear of being dependent on the drugs and other side effects
But ultimately, patients are the ones who decide when, how and it they will take their medication. Nurses and other health professionals can assist with problematic areas that may be barriers to complete adherence by educating the elderly, having simpler drug regimes and reducing costs where possible.
Answer:
You should type out the questions. The paper is too blurry to read.
The first question I would ask myself is am I comfortable with this situation? If the answer is no then you next have to decide how to deal with it.
Second question would be, how can I get myself out of this situation in the best way possible? You can either just say no to the person pressuring you if you are confident enough to do so in a calm manner, you can avoid the situation altogether which might work might making excuses, you can delay your decision making by telling the person you will get back to them.
Lastly you should ask yourself, how can I avoid getting into situations like this again in the future? You can avoid the people putting pressure on you, you can get a good support network of friends and family to help you and have your back, you can speak to trusting people in your life for advice.
