ch 6 Factors That Foster + Outcome
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Intentional vs. Nonintentional | Prescribers must evaluate whether not taking the drugs was a willful act/Does the person have dementia?/Do they believe that the medication was discontinued or replaced?/Did they not understand it was to be continued for a longer period of time?/Did they not understand that a “cure” was not reasonable? |
| Barriers to Adherence | Perceived adverse drug reactions /Asymptomatic conditions/Chronic conditions/Knowledge deficit/Cognitive impairment and psychiatric illness |
| Barriers to Adherence | Complexity of drug regimen/Financial impact of medications/Communication difficulties/Multiple providers |
| Measuring Adherence | There is not one method that is foolproof/Patient reports/Communicate with patient!/Clinical outcomes/Pill counts/Refill records/Biological and chemical markers/Example: laboratory tests or vital statistics (such as blood pressure) not improved |
| Keys to Patient Education | Simple instructions/Written handouts at appropriate literacy level /Instructions in native language, both oral and written/Incorporate aids, such as colored bottles and calendars/Incorporate health and cultural beliefs. |
| Involve the Patient With the Plan | Patient-centered care means discussing the perceived barriers to care and possible solutions to the problem/Have a clinic navigator or clinic staff call the patient and ask how he or she is doing/Set goals and also reinforcements for keeping to the plan. |
| Simple Solutions? | Make plan less complex/Provide home delivery of medications. Do not let patients leave without scheduled follow-ups./Can the plan be more flexible? |
| Conduct a Review of the Nursing Database to Find Unknown Barriers | See Figure 6-1 for the Five Spheres of Influence and the many possible factors that may be at the crux of the problem /Previous stability or adherence that becomes unstable is typically related to a change in one or more of these variables |
| Domino Effects | Change in one sphere of influence can trigger changes in another. Example: loss of insurance (health system influence) can trigger issues of cost (socio-economic sphere), create family stress (interpersonal sphere), decrease feelings of personal worth (personal sphere), etc |
| Try to Find a Factor That Can Be Modified | Seek resources for new insurance/provide access to low-cost medication programs. /Send messages that you care./Make referrals as needed for social care |
