What should be assessed about medication use?

1. Dosage and side effects

2. Color and shape of the medication

3. Cost of medication

4. Pharmacy location

The correct answer is: Dosage and side effects

When assessing medication use, it is important to consider the dosage and potential side effects because these factors directly affect the effectiveness and safety of the medication. The color and shape of the medication, while potentially helpful for identification purposes, do not provide any information on its efficacy or potential side effects. Similarly, the cost of the medication and the location of the pharmacy are important factors to consider in terms of convenience and affordability, but they are not directly related to the use and effects of the medication. Therefore, dosage and side effects should always be the primary focus when assessing medication use.
