questions:
1. What are consequences of medication non adherence for patients with multiple
chronic diseases?
2. What are the patient factors likely to affect medication adherence?
3. Outline THREE suitable strategies to overcome patient-initiated barriers to improve
medication adherence for patients with multiple chronic diseases.
