A woman comes to the pharmacy counter asking to for a refill of her Coumadin, and asks where to find the extra strength aspirin, because she has a headache. What should you tell her?
  1. You can find it in aisle 14
  2. I should get the pharmacist for you
  3. That product is not available
  4. You should take Tylenol instead of aspirin
Explanation
Answer: B - You should tell the patient to wait for the pharmacist. Aspirin and Coumadin are both blood thinners, and should not be taken together. If you encounter a patient asking about taking these medications together, they should be referred to the pharmacist, so an alternative to aspirin can be recommended.
