Write a compounding worksheet and record that reproduces the preparation exactly and survives inspection — formula, calculations shown, components with lot numbers, in-process checks, and the beyond-use date with its basis. Use when asked to document a compounded preparation, write a master formulation record, create a compounding worksheet, or prepare compounding documentation for inspection. Produces the master formula, the batch record, the component and lot table, in-process checks, labelling, and the beyond-use-date rationale. Documentation only; standards and stability data must come from current official references.

Reconcile controlled-substance records and prepare for an inspection — the count against the register, the discrepancy investigation, the documentation an inspector asks for, and the reporting obligations a shortfall triggers. Use when asked to reconcile controlled drugs, prepare for a DEA or controlled-drug inspection, investigate a discrepancy or suspected diversion, or audit the CD register. Produces the reconciliation, the discrepancy investigation record, the inspection-readiness checklist, and the escalation and reporting decision tree. A process framework only; reporting thresholds, timelines and obligations are set by law in your jurisdiction and must be verified there.

Document a pharmacist's clinical intervention — the interaction or error spotted, what was done, what the prescriber decided, and the outcome — so the record shows the catch and the care that followed. Use when asked to document a clinical intervention, record a prescriber call about an interaction, log a near-miss, or build an intervention record for audit or remuneration. Produces the intervention record with severity and evidence, the prescriber-call script, the outcome and follow-up, and the aggregate reporting fields. A documentation framework for a licensed pharmacist; every interaction and severity judgement must be verified against current references.

Structure a pharmacist's medication therapy review so it finds the problems worth escalating and documents them in a form a prescriber will act on. Use when asked to conduct a medication review, run an MTM or MUR, deprescribing review, or polypharmacy assessment, or to prepare a review for a patient on many medicines. Produces the medication list reconciled, the drug-therapy-problem list classified and prioritised, the patient-goal alignment, the prescriber recommendations with rationale, and the follow-up plan. A documentation and reasoning framework for a licensed pharmacist; it makes no clinical determination and recommends no specific drug or dose.

Write the counselling a patient will actually follow when collecting a new or changed medicine — what it is for, how to take it, what to expect, and the one thing that would make them stop. Use when asked to write patient counselling, counsel on a new prescription, explain a medicine to a patient, or improve adherence at the counter. Produces the counselling script in plain language, the teach-back questions, the red-flag advice, the adherence anticipation, and the documentation line. A communication framework for a licensed pharmacist; it makes no clinical determination and substitutes for no product-specific information.

Handle a prescription you are not going to dispense — the professional judgement recorded, the patient conversation, the prescriber contact, and the continuity of care that stops a refusal becoming abandonment. Use when asked how to refuse to fill a prescription, decline to dispense, handle a suspected forgery or early refill, or document a corresponding-responsibility decision. Produces the decision record, the conversation script, the prescriber contact, the continuity step, and the escalation path. Legal obligations vary by jurisdiction; verify yours.
