Factors in chronic conditions that contribute to nonadherence include:
 
  1. The complexity of the treatment regimen
  2. The length of time over which it must be taken
  3. Breaks in the usual daily routine, such as vacations and weekends
  4. All of the above

Question 2

Nonadherence is especially common in drugs that treat asymptomatic conditions, such as hypertension. One way to reduce the likelihood of nonadherence to these drugs is to prescribe a drug that:
 
  1. Has a short half-life so that missing one dose has limited effect
  2. Requires several dosage titrations so that missed doses can be replaced with lower doses to keep costs down
  3. Has a tolerability profile with fewer of the adverse effects that are considered irritating, such as nausea and dizziness
  4. Must be taken no more than twice a day
