scenario: a 40 - year - old male with mdd and a history of noncompliance with medication is being treated.
question: according to apa guidelines, what strategy can improve adherence?

• simplify the dosing regimen
• use a long - acting injectable medication
• schedule weekly follow - up visits
• provide intensive psychotherapy

Explanation:

For a patient with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and non - compliance history, APA guidelines suggest using long - acting injectable medications for those with non - adherence issues. Simplifying dosing, weekly visits, or intensive psychotherapy are not the primary strategies for improving adherence as per APA for this context. Long - acting injectables reduce the frequency of dosing and can address non - compliance better.

Answer:

B. Use a long - acting injectable medication
