Question

a nurse is caring for a client who is having difficulty remembering to take their prescribed medication three times each day. the nurse should identify that which of the following alternate forms of the medication can help to promote adherence to the prescribed dosage? liquid suspension immediate - release capsule extended - release tablet powder form

Explanation:

Extended - release tablets are designed to release the medication slowly over an extended period. This means that the client would not need to take the medication as frequently as with immediate - release forms (like immediate - release capsules) or forms that do not have a sustained - release mechanism (like liquid suspension or powder form). For a client who has difficulty remembering to take medication three times a day, a less - frequent dosing schedule (which extended - release tablets can potentially allow, depending on the specific drug) would promote adherence.

Answer:

Extended - release tablet
