Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The use of home remedies is part of an assessment of health-illness beliefs and practices. These remedies may include the use of herbs, other drugs, or treatments based on cultural practices.

Answer to Question 2

Nonadherence is the most common problem encountered in drug therapy. Over 50 of patients are nonadherent with their drug therapy, which results in poor control of chronic illnesses, and sometimes extensive hospitalizations. Older adults are less likely to follow a drug regimen if they are taking five or more drugs, when drug labels cannot be read, or when containers are difficult to open.
