Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is a functional impairment of older patients that may lead to medication non-adherence?

Poor manual dexterity

As patients age, they may experience a decline in manual dexterity, making it difficult for them to properly handle and administer medication. This impairment can lead to medication non-adherence as patients may struggle to open containers, read labels, or manage multiple medications at once. Option B, inability to afford medications, and option C, poor communication with physician, may also be factors in medication non-adherence, but they are not directly related to a functional impairment. Option D, none of the above, is incorrect because A is a correct answer.
