The results of structured interviews of fifty persons aged 65 years and older who were living independently in the community indicated that hazardous as well as wasteful practices were occurring in their medication taking behavior. Sixty-six percent of the medications used by this population were being taken without adequate instructions and twenty-five percent of the medications were not being taken as labeled. There is a need for a greatly improved coordination, improved education, and advocacy involving patients, nurses, pharmacists and physicians in medication use.
对50名65岁及以上独立生活在社区中的老人进行结构化访谈的结果表明，他们在用药行为中存在危险和浪费的做法。该人群使用的药物中有66%是在没有充分说明的情况下服用的，25%的药物没有按照标签说明服用。在药物使用方面，需要患者、护士、药剂师和医生之间进行大幅改善的协调、加强教育并开展宣传工作。
