What must a pharmacist do when working in collaborative care?

  1. Take charge of the patient's entire care

  2. Prescribe all the patient's medications

  3. Work collaboratively and respect other caregivers' roles

  4. Ignore other caregivers' opinions

The correct answer is: Work collaboratively and respect other caregivers' roles

A pharmacist who works in collaborative care is expected to work alongside other caregivers, such as physicians or nurses, to provide the best possible care for the patient. This means they must communicate and collaborate effectively with the other caregivers, while also respecting their individual roles and opinions. Taking charge of the patient's entire care (option A) or prescribing all medications (option B) would not be appropriate or within the pharmacist's scope of practice. Ignoring the opinions and contributions of other caregivers (option D) would also not promote effective collaboration and could potentially harm the patient's care. Collaborative care involves mutual respect and working together as a team for the benefit of the patient.
