laws regarding technician counseling of patients, Discussion Post help
Throughout your program, you have been learning about the various
places pharmacology information is utilized in pharmacy practice.
Questions about drugs often come from doctors, nurses, and patients.
However, depending on the nature of the inquiry, some of these questions
may need to be referred to the pharmacist. So why does the Pharmacy
Technician need to know so much about pharmacology?
Consider what you have learned so far about your role as a Pharmacy
Technician in the pharmacy workplace, and think about how you will
apply your pharmacology knowledge.
- Research your state laws regarding technician counseling of
patients. Are technicians allowed to do any type of counseling in your
state? If so what are the regulations governing technician counseling? - Since many states do not permit Pharmacy Technicians to counsel
patients, why do you feel there is such emphasis placed on pharmacology
knowledge? Describe a scenario in which you would use your pharmacology
knowledge in the pharmacy workplace.
