Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability of the patient to get to the clinic is of paramount importance to the success of the plan.The depot medication relieves the patient of the necessity to take medication daily,but if he or she does not receive the injection at 3-week intervals,non-adherence will again be the issue.Attitude toward the patient,trusting relationships,and nutrition are important but not fundamental to this particular problem.
