Question

A client with rheumatoid arthritis arrives in the clinic stating, "i don't take any medications because they are too expensive." the client reports that family members are arranging for the medications to be obtained from another country. what is the nurse's best response

Answer 1

The nurse's best response is to point out that many medications can be obtained for a couple of dollars from walmart, and the client and his family should look into other options before shipping in medication from another country, because this is costly and unneccessary. No one should have to go without medication, and there are affordable cost options.
