Reference no: EM133689404

Question

Newly diagnosed with AIDs, a young man, Phil, is frustrated as he is trying to understand his medication regimen. The nurse, Pauline, starts to get exasperated because it's clear to her; then she remembers it's her job to empower Phil. What does Pauline say next? I know this information may seem overwhelming; that's natural with a new diagnosis I've already loaded the pills into the dispenser; just come back each week and I'll reload them for you. Dr. Smith says it's best if you figure it out from reading the drug package inserts. Why can't you understand this? It's just four times daily for these two and twice daily after meals for the others.
