What must a pharmacist do when a patient requests a consultation for a Schedule II or III product?

  1. Charge a fee for consultation

  2. Collect information to assess the patient's needs

  3. Immediately provide the product without consultation

  4. Refer the patient to a physician

The correct answer is: Collect information to assess the patient's needs

When a patient requests a consultation for a Schedule II or III product, it is important for a pharmacist to collect information about the patient's needs in order to ensure safe and appropriate use of the medication. Charging a fee for consultation (option A) is not a necessary requirement for a pharmacist in this situation. Immediately providing the product without consultation (option C) can be dangerous and is not a pharmacist's responsibility. In some cases, it may be necessary for a pharmacist to refer the patient to a physician (option D) for further evaluation and treatment, but this should not be the first response when a patient requests a consultation. Collecting information to assess the patient's needs (option B) is the most appropriate and responsible action for a pharmacist to take in this situation.
