Which of the following strategies is aimed at minimizing patient health risks?

Minimizing patient health risks is a key goal in pharmacotherapy and patient care. The strategy focused on reducing risk potential directly addresses this goal. This can involve implementing various measures to limit the likelihood of adverse effects or complications that could arise from treatment. It can include adjusting treatment plans to account for a patient's specific health conditions, potential drug interactions, or any contraindications they may present.

The other strategies might not effectively address the core objective of risk reduction. Increasing medication dosage could potentially lead to heightened risks of toxicity or side effects. Conducting additional tests could provide more information about a patient's health status, but it does not necessarily reduce risk on its own; the risks could still be present regardless of the testing. Similarly, administering medication less frequently may not be suitable for all patients and could compromise therapeutic effectiveness rather than actively minimizing health risks. Therefore, the reduction of risk potential stands out as the most targeted approach to enhancing patient safety.
