Which client statement shows a need for further teaching about the prescribed blood pressure medication?

  1. "I take my medicine every day at the recommended dose."
  2. "I take my medicine even when I feel well."
  3. "I ask questions when I do not understand my treatment."
  4. "I take my medicine only on days when I feel my pressure is high."
Show answer

Correct answer: "I take my medicine only on days when I feel my pressure is high."

A client with high blood pressure may wrongly think the medication is needed only when the pressure feels high, rather than daily at the recommended doses.
