AB  - Identifying,  resolving,  and  preventing  drug  therapy  problems  are  the  unique  contributions  of  the  pharmaceutical  care  practitioner.Identifying  a  drug  therapy  problem  is  a  clinical  judgment  that  requires  the  practitioner  to  identify  an  association  between  the  patient's  medical  condition  and  the  patient's  pharmacotherapy.Medication  management  services  add  value  to  the  care  of  individual  patients  by  identifying,  resolving,  and  preventing  drug  therapy  problems.There  are  seven  distinct  categories  of  drug  therapy  problems.How  the  practitioner  describes  the  drug  therapy  problem  influences  the  selection  of  interventions  to  resolve  the  problem.A  correctly  stated  drug  therapy  problem  includes  (a)  a  description  of  the  patient's  condition  or  problem,  (b)  the  drug  therapy  involved,  and  (c)  the  specific  association  between  the  drug  therapy  and  the  patient's  condition.Drug  therapy  problems  should  be  assessed  for  their  severity,  acuteness,  and  significance  to  the  patient  to  determine  how  quickly  the  resolution  of  the  problem  must  occur.When  multiple  drug  therapy  problems  exist,  prioritize  them  and  begin  with  the  problem  that  is  most  important  to  the  patient  and/or  is  critical  to  the  health  of  the  patient.Patients  who  have  no  drug  therapy  problems  still  require  a  care  plan  and  follow-up  evaluation  to  ensure  that  the  goals  of  therapy  continue  to  be  met  and  no  new  drug  therapy  problems  develop.
