A nurse is assessing a client during a follow-up visit at a behavioral health clinic. The client reports that they have not been taking the prescribed antipsychotic medication on a regular basis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to improve medication adherence?

A. Discussing the provider's goals might not address the client’s reasons for non-adherence and could be seen as dismissive. B. Prescribing another medication without addressing the reasons for non-adherence may not solve the underlying problem. C. Asking about adverse effects shows empathy and provides an opportunity to address concerns and encourage adherence. D. Threatening hospitalization is not therapeutic and may make the client more resistant to taking the medication.
