Nonadherence is especially common in drugs that treat asymptomatic conditions,
such as hypertension. One way to reduce the likelihood of nonadherence to these
drugs is to prescribe a drug that:

, 2. Requires several dosage titrations so that missed doses can be replaced with
lower doses to keep costs down
3. Has a tolerability profile with fewer of the adverse effects that are considered
"irritating," such as nausea and dizziness
4. Must be taken no more than twice a day - ANSWER:3
Factors in chronic conditions that contribute to nonadherence include:
1. The complexity of the treatment regimen
2. The length of time over which it must be taken
3. Breaks in the usual daily routine, such as vacations and weekends
4. All of the above - ANSWER:4

3. They were given written material, such as pamphlets, about the drugs
4. The provider used appropriate medical and pharmacological terms - ANSWER:2
Patients with psychiatric illnesses have adherence rates to their drug regimen
between 35% and 60%. To improve adherence in this population, prescribe drugs:

curve
2. In oral formulations that are more easily taken
3. That do not require frequent monitoring
4. Combined with patient education about the need to adhere even when symptoms
are absent - ANSWER:1
Many disorders require multiple drugs to treat them. The more complex the drug
regimen, the less likely the patient will adhere to it. Which of the following
