Give your answer aloud.
Do not scroll straight to a model answer. Commit to a complete professional response first.
1. What is the main medication-safety issue?
2. Would you dispense the prescription as written?
3. What would you communicate to the prescriber and patient?
Finished your spoken answer?
The downloadable sample includes the complete model answer, a word-for-word counselling script and the independent Must Say / Should Say / Bonus study rubric.

Make the first attempt closed-book and spoken.
Recognition is easier than producing a clear answer under time pressure.
1
Read the prescription and patient information
Identify what matters before checking a reference or model answer.
2
State a clear decision
Say what you would do and why, rather than only naming the problem.
3
Communicate the next steps
Include the prescriber, the patient and any follow-up or monitoring that matters.
4
Then check the worked answer
Use the model answer to identify omissions and repeat the response more cleanly.
