The Second Edition of Patient Care Management Lab develops and fine tunes pharmacy and pharmacy technician students' skills in reading, evaluating, and filling prescriptions. The chapters correspond to particular disease states, summarizing the key characteristics and concerns with the associated drugs. At the core of the learning experience are patient cases in which students assume the role of the dispensing pharmacist or pharmacy technician. Each case presents a new patient and a new prescription to fill. Students must first assess the completeness of the patient profile and then evaluate possible complications. Each chapter features at least 20 cases. Students also learn how to counsel patients based on their prescription orders and drug and social histories.
