Problem:
The original post is about non-compliance by patients. They skip medical dosages and therapy sessions and do not make recommended dietary and lifestyle changes. These actions exacerbate their condition, and they end up in the facility again. Another reason is the need for interpretation of discharge instructions. It is also essential to mention that medical errors and inadequate transition care by the facility's medical personnel lead to hospital readmissions.

"This was a well-researched post. I would have liked to have heard more creativity, though, thoughts, and ideas on deeper reasons why patients are non-compliant. I know it's challenging when we are supposed to apply scholarly references, but I didn't find a lot of facts related to some of my ideas. I have been in the field for nearly 10 years now, and I have seen patients at all different stages and many different walks of life. The National Library of Medicine even concludes there is very little literature to aid how healthcare workers should deal with non-compliant patients (Kleinsinger, 2010). Sometimes it is not able finding data related to the cause, but as you said, taking the time to listen to your patient and their loved ones to understand their needs. While listening, you can inquire about changes or new habits they are able to incorporate."
