Which of the following is NOT a best practice for communicating with a patient who is hard-of-hearing?

Your patient, Bobby, was newly diagnosed with cancer. He feels extremely fatigued and overwhelmed with all of the information he has received about his illness and medication regimen. He was given a small supply of medication to prevent nausea that he was instructed to take in the days leading up to his first chemotherapy treatment. Upon arriving for his chemotherapy infusion, you learn that Bobby never took his medication to prevent nausea. He said he wasn’t having any nausea yet so he didn’t think the medication was needed. He has also been exhausted and fell asleep last night before he was supposed to take one of his doses. This has been a challenging diagnosis to accept, and it was difficult for Bobby to feel ready to start chemotherapy today. Of note, the pills Bobby received are small and easy to swallow. They are fully covered by his insurance. Bobby has a great relationship with his cancer care team and feels well-supported by his team of doctors.   Which type of adherence barrier is most relevant to Bobby’s case?
