Question

A nurse spends an hour educating a patient about an analgesic medication.

The nurse informs the patient that the pain medication a patient will receive may cause will decrease pain up to 4 hours at a time but may also cause drowsiness. The patient "teaches back" to the nurse what he has learned.

This exchange between patient and nurse is likely to result in which outcome?

Question 3 options:

a)	Increased likelihood of drug overdose

b)	decreased motivation to take the drug

c)	improved compliance with the drug regimen

d)	decreased chance of having a placebo effect

Answer 1

When the nurse teaches the patient anything it is better to know the understanding of the patient by patient feedback.Encourage the patient to talk back what learned.By this nurse confirm about patient knowledge level.

By this no drug overdose may happen.

When patient teach back patient understand about the need of taking drug,never leads to decreassed motivation of drug inatke.

placebo effect is defined as patient may feel a good benefit after the administration of look like substance.

Hence these three options are incorrect.

Increassed compliance with drug regimen means we get a good result from teaching the patint and getting feed back.

Hence the option "c" is the correct answer.

Improved compliance with drug regimen.
