Discussing medications each time they are administered to clients ensures that the clients have a clear understanding of their medications and the reason for taking them. This reinforces client education and helps identify any potential misconceptions or concerns the client may have. Providing educational pamphlets and asking healthcare providers to provide medication education are also important interventions, but may not be as effective if the information is not reinforced consistently.
