Question

The patient is prescribed a schedule ii drug by the health care provider. the patient expresses concern to the nurse that he or she must arrange for another appointment with the health care provider before he or she can receive another prescription for the medication. what is the most appropriate response by the nurse

Answer 1

When a patient expresses concern about having to schedule another appointment after being prescribed a Schedule II drug in order to obtain another prescription, the nurse would most likely respond to the patient by explaining to him that these drugs and their usage needs to be closely monitored. In some cases, Schedule II drugs can cause the patient to become physically or psychologically addicted to the drug.
