Reflect

Think of a patient in your clinic/unit who has been identified as having failed the intensive phase of treatment.
What action was taken to identify why the patient might be failing treatment? How was the patient supported to continue on their new treatment regime and what health education advice was given?
What could have been done to prevent failure at this stage?

What can you do to improve the chances of the patient successfully completing the intensive phase of treatment? How can you improve the chances of the patient successfully completing the new regime of treatment?
