Patient counseling Flashcards
Introduction to patient
Hi I’m Amy, I’m going to be your pharmacist today. Could I have your name and date of birth?
Could I also just verify your address?
Looks like we are here to pick up a new medication for ____.
Since this is a new prescription, I want to make sure you know how to take it correctly.
Could I have a few minutes to talk to you about this new prescription?
What are the three prime questions?
What did your doctor tell you this drug is used for?
How did your doctor tell you to use this?
What did your doctor tell you to expect from this drug?
Do you usually have trouble remembering to take your medications?
What to say to get final verification of patient knowledge?
I just gave you a lot of information. But, I really want to make sure that you remember some of the important things I told you. Would you be able to tell me a few things about how to take this prescription?
