NCLEX RN Practice Question

A client was discharged two days ago following total hip replacement. During a follow-up phone call the nurse learns that the client is confused about when to take several newly prescribed medications. Which nursing action should the nurse perform first to promote the client's safe management of the medication regimen at home?

  • Arrange for a home health nurse to administer the medications twice daily.

  • Instruct the client's spouse to set up the medications in a weekly pill organizer.

  • Deliver a simplified, color-coded medication chart to the client's home.

  • Assess the client's health literacy and ability to use a medication schedule.
