Which of the following is not necessary information to add to a patient's retail pharmacy profile?
  1. Allergies to herbal supplements
  2. Previous surgeries the patient has undergone
  3. Over the counter medications the patient is taking
  4. Chronic medical conditions the patient has
Explanation
Answer: B - Previous surgeries that the patient has undergone do not need to be added to a patient's retail pharmacy profile. The actual surgery does not need to be added, but if the patient developed an allergy or chronic condition from the surgery, this is appropriate information to be included in the patient’s profile. All of the other choices are information that the pharmacist can use to determine if a medication is appropriate for the patient.
