What is the primary consideration pharmacists must hold according to their Code of Ethics?

  1. Their relationship with drug companies

  2. The health and safety of each patient

  3. Their personal beliefs about medications

  4. The profitability of their pharmacy

The correct answer is: The health and safety of each patient

The primary consideration that pharmacists must hold according to their Code of Ethics is the health and safety of each patient. This means that a pharmacist's main priority should be providing patients with the best and safest medications for their individual needs. Option A is incorrect because while pharmacists may have relationships with drug companies, they should not let these relationships compromise their duty to the patient's well-being. Option C is incorrect because personal beliefs should not come into play when deciding what medication to provide for a patient. Option D is incorrect because while profitability may be important for a pharmacy to stay in business, it should not be the primary consideration over the health and safety of patients.
