Which of the following are potential implications of non-adherence to medications?

  1. Someone who doesn’t take BP meds regularly experiences a stroke

  2. SOB & hospitalization for someone not adhering to their asthma meds

  3. Loss of seizure control in someone who skips their anti-seizure meds

  4. All the above

The correct answer is: All the above

Non-adherence to medications can have serious consequences, including increased risk of negative health outcomes, hospitalizations, and decreased effectiveness of the medication. Choosing option D is the most comprehensive answer as it includes all three potential implications listed in options A, B, and C. Option A mentions someone experiencing a stroke due to not regularly taking BP meds, option B mentions someone experiencing shortness of breath and potential hospitalization for not taking their asthma meds, and option C mentions the loss of seizure control for someone not taking their anti-seizure meds regularly. All of these potential implications highlight the importance of adherence to medications for maintaining good health and minimizing risk of negative outcomes.
