Case-based learning — patient concerns
Read the following patient case notes and expand questions 10–12 to test your knowledge.
Case notes
Patient profile
Mrs Smith, aged 65 years, is visiting a pharmacist prescriber in their hypertension clinic at a GP practice. She had been asked to monitor and record her blood pressure over the previous two weeks. Mrs Smith currently does not take any medication. She enjoys going out with her friends and family, spending time with her young grandchild and playing tennis every week.
Background
The results Mrs Smith has brought in today indicate that she has consistently raised blood pressure and could benefit from the prescription of a new antihypertensive medication. When discussing the blood pressure results, the pharmacist informed the patient about the risks of leaving high blood pressure untreated and explained the medical options available that can help manage the risk of stroke and heart attack. Mrs Smith agrees to start on a new antihypertensive medication but is concerned about the potential side effects and the impact on her daily life, as she values her independence and enjoys an active lifestyle.

not sure I agree with all of the "correct" answers
the one about the "first thing you should do" - the scenario suggests the pharmacist is already mid conversation with the patient so I would have expected they'd already have introduced themselves properly, so makes no sense that this is the first thing to do at that point
and the last question doesn't say "tick all that apply" like other multi answer questions do.
Many thanks for your comment. I am senior editor for research and learning at the Pharmaceutical Journal. We will discuss this feedback with the original article authors and whether the wording for this question can be improved.
