The nurse identifies the nursing diagnosis of Noncompliance for a patient. Which of the following would the nurse most likely identify as the expected outcome?
A) Patient verbalizes understanding of when to call the health care provider.
B) Patient demonstrates ability to maintain adherence to prescribed drug therapy.
C) Patient verbalizes desire to manage prescribed medication schedule.
D) Patient identifies the reason for the prescribed drug therapy for his illness.
Ans: B
Feedback:
Demonstrating the ability to maintain adherence to the prescribed therapy would be the best outcome for a nursing diagnosis of Noncompliance. Although the reasons for noncompliance can be many, this outcome addresses the importance of the therapeutic plan. Verbalizing an understanding of when to call the health care provider and identifying reasons for the prescribed drug would be appropriate outcomes for the nursing diagnosis of Deficient Knowledge. Verbalizing a desire to manage the prescribed medication schedule would correlate with a nursing diagnosis of Effective Self Health Management.
