NURS 3100 Exam 1 Practice

A client asks a nurse how many Americans take at least one prescription drug per year. What is the nurse's best response?

1. 10%

2. 25%

3. 40%

4. 50%

The correct answer is: 10%

The nurse's best response would be "10%." This is the most accurate answer as approximately 10% of Americans take at least one prescription drug per year. It is essential for the nurse to provide accurate information to the client to ensure they are well-informed. The other options (25%, 40%, and 50%) are significantly higher percentages and do not reflect the current statistics on prescription drug use in the United States.
