Question

a pharmacy technician is assisting a patient who states they are not taking their medication as prescribed. which of the following actions should the technician take?
advise the patient to take their medication.
notify the pharmacist.
call the nurse.
contact the case worker.

Explanation:

In a pharmacy - setting, a pharmacy technician's role when a patient reports not taking medication as prescribed is to notify the pharmacist. The pharmacist has the knowledge and authority to address the issue, such as counseling the patient on proper medication use or adjusting the prescription if needed. Advising the patient directly may not be within the technician's scope. Calling the nurse or case - worker is not the immediate action as the pharmacist is the primary professional in the pharmacy to handle such situations.

Answer:

B. Notify the pharmacist.
