Roberta must take her Risperdal twice per day. She has difficulty remembering to take the second pill. How can you help Roberta remember to take her medication?
  1. Set the alarm on Roberta’s cell phone to repeat at the same time every day, with a message that reads “Take Risperdal.”
  2. Tell Roberta to set her alarm clock to go off at the same time every day to remind her to take her medication.
  3. Tell Roberta to get a talking pill organizer that will talk to her when it is time to take her medication.
  4. Ask Roberta’s mother to remind her to take her medication.
Explanation
Answer: A. You can help Roberta remember to take her medication by setting the alarm on her cell phone to repeat at the same time every day, with a message that reads “Take Risperdal.” Cell phone alarms can accommodate multiple settings, so you will not disturb Roberta’s other alarm reminders by adding this one. This adaptation allows Roberta to use a device that she already owns to remind her to take her medication.
