PTCE Pharmacy Technician

Category - Patient Info

A young woman comes to your pharmacy counter to ask where she can find the aspirin for her 2 year old daughter. What should you tell her?
  1. You can find it in aisle 32
  2. I should get the pharmacist for you
  3. That product is not available
  4. You should give her Tylenol instead of aspirin
Explanation
Answer: B - You should tell the patient to wait for the pharmacist. Aspirin is not recommended for use in children, due to the risk of Reyes Syndrome. If a parent comes to your counter trying to find aspirin to give to their child, you should have them speak to the pharmacist, so that an alternative can be recommended.
