2. consider nonpharmacologic treatments – Optimally it would be beneficial to reduce the amount of medications taking. Providing alternatives would be beneficial such as diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications (stress reduction would be an example).
3. Review of all medications – as with close monitoring, reviewing the medications to ensure that they are correct. Polypharmacy is also a concern. Ensure right dose, right med and that they are correct for treatment.
