never was the patient type

To be impatient. The desire to not want to wait for things to occur. A saying some would say, to never be a type of way.

I never was the patient type when it came to waiting in lines .

Patient adherence

Unintentional

Difficulty with label
Incorrect prescription
Forgetting
Feeling better

Peer pressure
Confusing instructions
Unaware of consequences
Complicated regimen

Intentional
religious beliefs
Taste of medication
Prefer other medicine

Don’t trust it
Careless

Side effects
Internet or claims from other people

You can improve a patient’s adherence by simplifying regimen characteristics which will make sure that it isn’t overly complicated and the patient won’t stop taking the medication because it’s instructions are confusing to them.

Imparting knowledge to the patient will allow the patient to understand and be aware of the consequences and might make them trust it more.

Modifying patient beliefs will target specific intentional reasons why the patient stops taking medication and provide the patient with a medication that tailors the unique needs for them..

Patient communication involves the patient's family and includes them for social support and understanding like helping younger or elderly patients take their medications in case they cannot do it by themselves.

You can help the patient to trust the medication more by changing the education and information to the patients level of understanding

Patient adherence is preventing the patient from taking their medication.

atrophy patient

What an in home caregiver has when they keep a patient in a state of atrophy for job security. They do as little as possible for their patient so the patient does not improve to a point of not needing care.

My atrophy patient is not asking for any in home exercises so I’m not going to suggest anything so I can sit and watch tv for most of my shift. It’s easy money.
