A good way to reduce confusion and medication errors is to:

A. prescribe a wide variety of drugs that will work together properly
B. use extra large print on prescription pads
C. keep the patient's drug regimen as simple as possible
D. tell the patient to have another person administer his or her drugs

c
Rationale: Health-care providers should strive to reduce patient confusion and the chance for medication errors involving drug self-administration by keeping the patient's drug regimen as simple as possible. They should try to prescribe drugs that may be taken at the same time every day by using the least number of drugs possible.
