Ask a pharmacist a question about a medicine
When to use this goal
For young adults who manage some of their own health and do not ask when they are unsure about a medicine (take with food, a missed dose, an over-the-counter choice). Present levels in communication decide the mode, not grade.
- Baseline
- Use role-plays with the nurse for most of the baseline. Score correct when the student asks, gets the answer, and records or repeats it.
- Tips
- Pharmacists answer medicine questions for free; that is worth teaching. Write questions with the family and nurse.
- Limits
- The goal teaches asking, not medical decisions. Answers are followed only with the family's and prescriber's plan.

Baseline: 0 of 5 opportunities.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
