C
Feedback:
When encouraging a client to follow a medically prescribed medication regiment, the nurse is least effective when including personal experiences and the nurse's own choices. The most effective strategy is providing information on the medication regimen, including family member in the treatment regimen to support the client and to provide information on the consequence if the medication regimen is not followed. Ensuring that clients have all of the information to make an informed decision is a nursing role.
