Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most important assessment by the nurse prior to giving the client the educational pamphlets would be to assess the client's reading level. This will ensure that the client can understand and use the information provided to them. Assessing the client's ability to pay for medication, religious attitudes toward medicine, or cultural bias toward taking medicine may also be important, but they are not as immediate a concern as the client's ability to understand the information about their medication.
