Which test is NOT listed as one a pharmacist may order?

  1. Serum drug levels

  2. Blood pressure

  3. Lipid panel

  4. Thyroid function

The correct answer is: Blood pressure

Blood pressure is an important measure of overall health, but it is not typically within the scope of a pharmacist's duties to order this test. Pharmacists may order serum drug levels, which measure the concentration of a medication in the bloodstream to ensure proper dosage and effectiveness. They may also order lipid panels to assess a person's risk for heart disease, and thyroid function tests to evaluate the function of the thyroid gland. While a pharmacist may counsel patients on managing their blood pressure, it is ultimately the responsibility of a physician to order this test.
