Tell me about a time you impacted a patient’s healthcare.
° Action • I asked him about his medication one-by-one, then asked how he
organizes his medications. • He expressed frustration that he had “too many bottles, with too many
confusing names on them” and that often times he “gets frustrated and takes them all at once, or just doesn’t bother with them.”
• I communicated options for easing medication use, and the patient liked the idea of filling a weekly pill box. I was able to obtain a 7-day pill box, and the patient and I filled it together before he was discharged. I followed up with him a week later and he was still effectively using the pill box.
