Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What information is required to be documented for test interpretation?

1. Patient's name and address only

2. Nature of the test and result only

3. Recommendations made or actions taken only

4. Patient's name, address, pharmacist's name, nature of the test, result, recommendations/actions taken, and dates of the test and interpretation

The correct answer is: Patient's name, address, pharmacist's name, nature of the test, result, recommendations/actions taken, and dates of the test and interpretation

For test interpretation, it is important to document all relevant aspects of the test and its interpretation. This includes the patient's name, address, and date of the test, as well as the nature of the test and its results. It is also necessary to document any recommendations made or actions taken based on the test results. Simply documenting the patient's name and address (option A), or only the nature of the test and its result (option B), or only the recommendations or actions taken (option C) does not provide a complete and accurate record for future reference and patient care. Therefore, option D is the correct and best answer as it includes all the required information for proper test interpretation documentation.
