Assessing medication adherence


Question: When assessing medication adherence, a patient with schizophrenia may not be an accurate historian regarding taking medication consistently. Simply asking, "Have you been taking your medication?" leaves much to interpretation due to its non-specificity because the patient answering in the affirmative who takes it on some days is being honest. Additionally, the patient may not want to disappoint their provider or feel judged if they are non-adherent and is not forthcoming about taking medications consistently. A more fruitful and less judgmental method of inquiring about adherence would be to begin the conversation with a question about the patient's: Question options: A) daily routine B) personal attitude toward their medication C) medication refill history D) pill counts
