Question

practice question 3 of 4
attempt 1 of 3
which outcome is demonstrated when patients are allowed to read clinical notes from their provider?
patients are more likely to take medications as prescribed.
providers are more likely to discharge patients from their practice.
patients are less likely to prepare for clinic visits.
providers are less likely to perform physical examinations.

Explanation:

Research and clinical outcomes show that when patients have access to their clinical notes, they gain a better understanding of their treatment plan, which improves medication adherence. The other options are inconsistent with established effects: providers do not discharge patients more often, patients tend to be more prepared for visits, and physical examinations are not reduced.

Answer:

A. Patients are more likely to take medications as prescribed.
