Devise a strategy for the six types of non-adherence to help an elder adhere to a drug regime.
Hesitance to initiate therapy (You have prescribed a drug and discover the elder has not started taking it.)
Skipped doses (The elder forgets or is not home to take the drug.)
Medication discontinuation (The elder perceives that the medication is not working and stops taking it.)
Dose self-adjustment (The elder adjusts the dose to save money.)
Over-adherence (The elder takes more of the drug because symptoms worsen.)
Inappropriate administration (The elder misuses or abuses the drug.)
