Research topic: Topic: Medication Nonadherence in Patients with Chronic Illnesses Many patients struggle to take their medications consistently due to side effects, cost, forgetfulness, lack of understanding, or difficulty managing multiple prescriptions. When medications are not taken as prescribed, chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol can worsen and lead to preventable complications or hospitalizations. In outpatient primary care, family nurse practitioners play an important role in helping patients understand their treatment plans, addressing barriers to adherence, and improving long-term health outcomes Learning Objectives Formulate a researchable problem and question in advanced nursing practice.
