The prescription medication practices of 30 subjects, 65 years or older, were surveyed and compared to the actual physician's instructions indicated on the prescription label. The study identified reasons for errors in administration and compliance or noncompliance with the prescribed regimen. The subjects were interviewed with a questionnaire developed by the author. The study revealed that more errors were made by subjects who were 65 to 69 years old, Protestant, and female. The error-prone individuals also lived alone and had less than 12 grades of education. Teaching about medications is typically a nursing or pharmacy function; a professional nurse or pharmacist could be employed to present instructional sessions periodically.
对30名65岁及以上受试者的处方药使用情况进行了调查，并与处方标签上医生的实际指示进行了比较。该研究确定了用药错误以及遵守或不遵守规定治疗方案的原因。通过作者编制的问卷对受试者进行了访谈。研究表明，65至69岁、新教徒且为女性的受试者出现的错误更多。容易出错的个体也独居且受教育程度低于12年级。药物知识教育通常是护理或药学的职责；可以聘请专业护士或药剂师定期开展指导课程。
