1. This is not a choice since the medication needs to be administered. Since the nurse will be giving the medication anyway, this can lead to mistrust between the patient and nurse.
2. The medication schedule is typically not changed by a whole day based on patient preference.
3. If the patient needs the medication, it would not be appropriate to give the patient the option of not having to take it anymore.
4. This is appropriate. The medication needs to be given; the only choice available to the patient has to do with factors around how they take it, such as with a drink.
