The nurse follows the nursing process when conducting medication education about insulin. The step of evaluation is best demonstrated by which question?

Question 2
A patient with hypertension is taking a potent antihypertensive without results. The patient is concerned when the health care provider orders a new drug. The nurse explains,
1. The drug you took is very potent, and a higher dose is needed.
2. The new drug has greater efficacy, so it will help reduce your blood pressure.
3. The prescriber must have made an error in the orders.
4. Efficacy in treating your hypertension is more important than potency.
5. You are correct. I think the prescriber meant to order both drugs.
