Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What must be documented when a medication counseling session is refused by a patient?

1. The patient's name and medication only

2. Refusal and reasons if provided

3. The date and time of refusal

4. The pharmacist's name who offered counseling

The correct answer is: Refusal and reasons if provided

When a patient refuses a medication counseling session, it is important to document the refusal and any reasons provided by the patient. This documentation can help protect the pharmacist from liability in case of any adverse reactions or misunderstandings related to the medication. Option A is incorrect because it does not include the reason for the refusal, which is important information to have documented. Option C is incorrect because the date and time of refusal alone is not enough information to provide a complete record. Option D is incorrect because it only includes the name of the pharmacist who offered counseling, but not the patient's response or any reasons for the refusal.
