In this situation, the pharmacist is filling the role of primary care. This is because they are providing initial, direct care and guidance for Jiao’s specific health issue (her cold and related symptoms) by advising on over-the-counter medication options.
Jiao is a university student who has come down with a pretty bad head cold. Besides aching like crazy, Jiao’s head feels stuffy. Her throat is killing her. Jiao goes to a local pharmacy to get some over the counter medicine. She is not sure which one of the boxes would best treat her symptoms, so she asks the pharmacist for help. In this situation, what healthcare role is the pharmacist filling?
