Assess- analyzing the information given in relations to their health
goals and identify problems; Plan- make a personalized care plan
alongside other health professionals and the patient/caregiver;
Implement- implement the developed plan; and Follow-up: monitor

Sec. 1, Obj. 1, Pharmacists' Patient Care handout
What is the purpose of a case presentation?
Establish goals of therapy, interventions, plan for follow-up, be concise and

organized
Correct!
Serve as a communication tool, note important findings, include assessment
and plan.
Record patient outcomes, evaluate progress in meeting goals of therapy,

reassessment
Partnership between practitioner and patient, optimize a patient's care,

understand medication
Answer: b. Option a describes the purpose of a care plan. Option b

describes the purposes of a case presentation. Option c describes the
purposes of an evaluation. Option d describes the purposes of a
therapeutic relationship. Sec. 1, Obj. 2, An Introduction to
Pharmaceutical Care Presentation.
Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is best described by which of the

following?
optimizing therapeutic outcomes for patients
promoting safe and effective use of medication
achieving targeted outcomes
Correct!
All of the above are part of MTM
Answer: a. Pharmacists use medication therapy management which

was define in 2004 to ensure a number of outcomes, including the
promotion of safe and effective use of medications. Sec. 1, Obj. 3, An
Introduction to Pharmaceutical Care Presentation.
A healthcare team minimizes medication use problems by:
prescribing alternative drugs just in case
Correct! working as a team for extra safety measures and targeted outcomes
allowing the patient to choose his/her preferred dosage
refraining from asking the patient/caregivers too many medical history

questions
Answer: b. One of the best ways to reduce medication use problems

is to work together as a team of pharmacists, physicians, nurses,
dietitians, and others to ensure that every need of the patient is met.
The other answer choices actually increase medication use problems,
instead of minimizing them. Sec. 1, Obj. 4, Role of Pharmacist.
How did the Patient’s Bill of Rights help establish pharmaceutical care that
we know of
today?
It reinforced the paternalistic model of healthcare
Correct! It enabled patients to recognize that they have a say in their care
Patients are enabled to prescribe their own medications
Only the government can dictate drug therapies for patients
Answer: b. The Patient’s Bill of Rights aimed to cease the paternalistic

model of healthcare where healthcare providers made the decisions
about the patient’s health care as they understood it best. Option A is
incorrect because the model is what the bill aimed to stop. Option C is
incorrect because that would have led to major health problems
because there would be an increase in major drug therapy issues.
Option D is incorrect because it minimizes the input of healthcare
professionals in drug therapies of patients. Section 1, Obj. 6, Patient
Care and Rights.
Which of the following would promote recruitment in rural pharmacy

practice?
reduced dispensing capacity
restrictions on patient access
drug delivery and unit dose packing
Correct! loan forgiveness program
D is the correct answer because the loan forgiveness program is what

will bring pharmacists in since they will probably have some loans that
will need to be paid off and if they went to a rural pharmacy practice
they wouldn’t have to pay for them. A, B, and C are incorrect because
these factors are what are making pharmacists not want to work there
or are what is making them leave. Sections 1, Objective 8, Rural
Pharmacy and Workforce Trends.
What was the original purpose of telepharmacies?
Correct! To address the declining population of rural pharmacies.
So pharmacists can work from the convenience of their home.
To increase the employment opportunities for pharmacists
To increase the rate that prescriptions get filled
Answer: A. Telepharmacies serve as a way for rural populations to

obtain their prescriptions without having to drive to the closest city.
They are especially important as the amount of rural pharmacies
continues to be low for a multitude of reasons. B and C might be
benefits of working for a telepharmacy, since there are many
components to correctly running a telepharmacy. D is incorrect
because telepharmacies require a lot more double-checking to make
sure the prescription was filled correctly. Sec. 1, Obj. 9, Rural
Pharmacy and Workforce Trends Handout.
Which of the following is a consequence of workforce shortages in rural

pharmacy practice?
Reduced dispensing capacity
Restricted access to medication
Reduced pharmaceutical care
Correct!
All of the above are consequences
Answer: d. All of the above are consequences of workforce shortages.

With pharmacies disappearing in rural communities, people are
required to drive longer distances to access medication, given less
opportunity to interact with pharmacy professionals and pharmacies
are not able to fill all orders. (Section 1, Objective 9, Rural Pharmacy
and Workforce Trends – Rural Pharmacy in New Zealand)
Which of the following is an example of pharmacists correctly intervening and

impacting patient care?
Correct!
Administering immunizations
Taking x-rays for a broken bone
Sharing HIPAA information with others
Diagnosing a medical condition
Answer: a. Recent studies by the CDC have shown that the ability of
pharmacists to vaccinate as well as accessibility has increased the
rates of vaccination in the general public. Taking x-rays, sharing
confidential HIPAA information, and diagnosing diseases on the other
hand would be examples of pharmacists wrongly intervening and
impacting patient care. Sec. 1, Obj. 10, Pharmacists’ Impact on
Patient Care Presentation.
Why are generic drugs usually cheaper than name brand drugs?
Patent protection eliminates competition
They don’t work as well as name brand drugs
They offer only minor improvements over the brand name drug
Correct!
The company producing them did not have to research or develop the product
Answer: d. Patent protection allows a single company to market a

drug, eliminating competition. This often causes a raise in the price of
a drug. Generic drugs are the same compound as name brand drugs
so they will be just as effective. Generic drugs are often cheaper
because they did not have research or develop the product and do
not have to compensate for that past funding. Section: 1, Objective:
11, Drug Costs Handout
Which cost factor would cause the price of drugs to decrease for the patient?
Correct!
Prescription insurance
Purchasing Brand name drugs
Seeking a doctor's prescription
Government mandated price floors for drug costs
Answer: a. A brand name drug will always be more expensive than its
generic counterpart. The process of seeking a doctor's prescription
will add to the total cost of receiving the medication that could have
been avoided by purchasing the over-the-counter variant. A price floor
mandated by the government would drive drug prices up higher than
they may have been had the price floor not been there. An insured
patient will almost always receive medication at a discounted price or
even for free. More information on this subject can be found under
"Drug Costs Handout" and "Prescription Insurance".
Drug Price is determined by:
dosage form
strength
bottle size
Correct!
all of the above
Answer: D. D is correct because dosage form, strength and bottle size

all contribute to the price of a drug. Drug companies could charge
higher for easier dosage forms, higher strengths and increased bottle
sizes. Sec 1, Obj 13. Drug Pricing Presentation
What is a Formulary?
Correct!
A list of medications identified as preferred or approved by an institution or
PBM.
A group/organization that helps efficiently select the safest, most effective drug
therapy.
A list of medications identified as non-preferred that are not approved by an

institution or PBM.
One of the different levels included in the drug distribution chain along with the
manufacturers.
a. A formulary is defined as a list of medications identified

as preferred or approved by an institution or PBM. Preferred meaning
that it will help guide drug selection and prescribing whereas non-
preferred would not which is why answer c is incorrect. Answer b is
incorrect because that is what the PBM's (pharmacy benefit
manager's) do; although they use and help develop the formulary, the
formulary itself helps in a different way. Answer d is incorrect because
the drug distribution chain has to do with how and where the drugs
are sold and the formularies are a step before that trying to select the
safest drug. Sec. 1, Obj. 16, Prescription Insurance Presentation.
What is a role of a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM)?
The PBM decides what the price of each drug at the pharmacy is going to be
The PBM is responsible for all the payments made by consumers at the
pharmacy
The PBM contacts all consumers about their recent purchases
Correct!
The PBM negotiates with the pharmacy over reimbursement for drugs and
dispensing fees
Answer: d. One role of a Phamacy Benefit Manager is to negotiate

with the pharmacy over reimbursement for drugs and dispensing fees.
Not only does a PBM negotiate with the pharmacy about
reimbursement for drugs and dispensing fees, but they also negotiate
prices with the manufacture. Options A, B, and C are incorrect
because a PBM is not obligated to do any of those roles. Other
positions are obligated to do them. Although a PBM also negotiates
prices, a PBM is not the one who decides what the price of each drug
at the pharmacy is going to be. Sec. 1, obj. 17, Prescription Insurance
Presentation/Prescription Insurance Slides.
Which of the following is an advantage of using a mail-order pharmacy

opposed to a local neighborhood pharmacy?
Face-to-Face interaction
Correct!
Potential lower monthly costs
Delays in medication receipt
Less professional services
Answer: b. One of the few advantages of using mail-order pharmacies

is a potential monthly savings. However, when using forgoing local
community pharmacies, patients miss out on lots of important aspects
like Face-to-Face interaction, immediate medication receipt, and
services like counsels and general therapy advice. Options a, c, d are
all disadvantages of using mail-order pharmacies and could avoided
by a monthly trip to a local neighborhood pharmacy. Sec 1, Obj. 18.
Prescription Insurance Presentation.
Which of the following best describes a Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T)

committee?
Correct!
Set of individuals who create the formulary
Comprised primarily of administrators and marketing consultants
Heavily involved in the pricing of new prescription drugs
Exist solely within hospitals
Answer a. The pharmacy and therapeutics committee creates the

formulary by deeming which family of drugs are clinically equivalent in
safety and efficacy. CMS requires that P&T have a majority of
practicing physicians and pharmacists and that individuals such as
administrators and marketing consultants are not a part of the P&T.
Answers B, C, and D are incorrect as the information provided within
the slides stated almost the exact opposite of each incorrect answer.
