You are an intern at a community pharmacy, but have been there for about 2 months and know the “regulars.” One of these regulars comes in with a new prescription. Which of the following is true?
  1. You can counsel her on the new prescription without the pharmacist being present.
  2. The “regular” can be handed the prescription without any counseling because she knows enough to ask any questions.
  3. She can refuse counseling.
  4. Since the senior pharmacist is out, you can simply tell her to read the printed information on the prescription label.
Explanation
Answer: C − Any patient can refuse counseling. An intern must have a senior pharmacist present for any counseling and it is insufficient to substitute reading material for individual counseling.
