This article aims to raise nurse prescribers' awareness of the factors that influence patients' medicine-taking behaviour. It highlights guidance on communication principles that should inform consultations with patients. Research on nurse prescribers' current practice will also be outlined. Suggestions are made to enhance practice and strengthen the nurse prescriber's role in effective medicine-taking.
