Imagine a patient who works as a delivery driver. After a couple of months, the patient returns for a follow-up appointment with blood pressure that remains above the goal the physician set. The physician prescribed the appropriate daily medication, covered how to take it, and confirmed understanding. Despite this, the patient reports only taking the medication a few times a week. What the physician doesn’t know is that the medication increases trips to the bathroom and interferes with his tight delivery schedule.
