Which of the following patients may be at the highest risk of non-adherence?

77-year-old male living with spouse, taking one glaucoma med

40-year-old female, marries, taking a number of pain control meds

62-year-old immigrant female taking multiple meds after a recent heart attack

Non-adherence means not following the prescribed treatment plan. Out of all the options, the 62-year-old immigrant female taking multiple medications after a recent heart attack may be at the highest risk for non-adherence due to various reasons. Immigration can result in language barriers, cultural differences, and unfamiliarity with healthcare systems, which may make it challenging for the patient to understand and adhere to their treatment plan. Additionally, the patient's recent heart attack may have caused physical and emotional distress, making it difficult to manage multiple medications. The other options do not have the same combination of potentially challenging factors and thus may not be at as high of a risk for non-adherence.
