T2  - Patient Assessment in Pharmacy
AB  - This  textbook  is  intended  to  fill  the  significant  resource  gaps  in  patient  assessment  needed  by  pharmacists  to  provide  optimal  patient-centered  pharmacy  services  including  primary  care.  Existing  pharmacy  materials  do  not  include  the  necessary  breadth  and  depth  in  these  areas.  This  textbook  is  intended  to  help  pharmacists  integrate  the  pathophysiology,  findings  from  history  taking,  physical  examination,  and  laboratory  test  interpretation  to  make  accurate  assessments  in  two  areas.  The  first  helps  the  pharmacist  make  a  more  accurate  diagnosis  and  thus  enables  them  to  better  advise  patients  regarding  appropriate  use  of  products  intended  for  self-care  or  accurately  refer  patients  to  higher  levels  of  care  if  indicated.  The  second  area  is  to  enhance  the  pharmacist's  ability  to  assist  patients  in  the  management  of  their  chronic  diseases,  outlining  monitoring  parameters  for  disease  control,  early  detection  of  disease-based  complications,  and  drug  therapy–based  adverse  effects.  In  addition,  the  textbook  will  enhance  pharmacist's  ability  to  counsel  patients  about  both  prescription  and  nonprescription  medications,  enhance  their  ability  to  communicate  with  other  health  care  professionals,  and  assist  in  identification  of  potential  drug-related  problems.
