The second step is to evaluate the risk factors for each patient for medication adherence/nonadherence. Steps are then taken to prevent nonadherence.Implications For PracticeThe implications for nurse practitioners include using time with patients to assist them in adherence, building a trusting relationship with patients, and developing protocols for assessing and preventing nonadherence.©2014 The Author(s) ©2014 American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
