An older patient who is repeatedly admitted to the hospital tells the nurse it is because of the inability to purchase prescribed medications. What should the nurse respond to the patient?
 
  1. Do you not have insurance?
  2. I'm not surprised that you can't afford them. You are on a lot of medications.
  3. There are ways to reduce the cost of medications, such as using Medicare Part D.
  4. I will contact our social services department so the hospital will provide your medications.
