 Conversation with a Pharmacist

Pharmacist/Patient Dialogues
Dialogue .1

Patient:
Hi, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I was swimming in the ocean
today,and when I got out, I noticed that I had all of these red bumps from my waist down.
Pharmacist:Do they itch?
Patient: Yeah, and I can’t stop scratching them.
Pharmacist:I can see from your scratch marks. You only went into the water up to your
waist? Did youfeel a sting?
Patient: Yeah, come to think of it, I did. That’s why I left the water.
Pharmacist: Well, it looks like you have a bumpy rash caused by ajellyfish sting.
Patient: A jellyfish sting? What should I do to get rid of this itch?
Pharmacist: Are you allergic to any medications?
Patient:Not that I know of, but I don’t think so.
Pharmacist:I would recommend Benadryl tablets and hydrocortisone cream. You’ll find
them in aisle 5.
Patient:I have a hard time swallowing tablets and pills. Does Benadryl come in a liquid?
Pharmacist:Sure. You can get it in liquid form. Follow the directions for both the Benadryl
and thehydrocortisone cream. And if the itching and rash continue, call your doctor.
Patient:Thank you so much.
Pharmacist:No problem. Glad to be of help.

Dialogue .2

Patient:I was wondering what Icould do about the problem I’m having with my big right toe.
Pharmacist: What’s seems to be the problem?
Patient:Here, I’ll show you. I thought it was just oozy and blistery, but this morning when I
got upand tried to put my foot in my shoe, it really hurt.
Pharmacist:Is it sensitive to the touch?
Patient: Yeah. That’s why I’m wearing open-toe sandals so that the toe won’t rub against
anything.Even when I put a Band-Aid on it, it really hurts.
Pharmacist:Have you been wearing tight shoes? When did you notice the watery blisters?
Patient: Well, actually I ran a 10K race this past weekend and it was raining and my sneakers
got wet,and that’s when my toe started to hurt and I saw the watery blisters.
Pharmacist: Well, it looks like the wet sneakers and maybe not enough room at the tip of
your sneakerscaused the nail to get soft and the skin to get blisters. It looks like you have a
fungal infection.
Patient:Fungus? Where would I get fungus?
Pharmacist: Well, a fungal infection is caused by the moist environment created by your wet
sneakerand socks rubbing against your toes. That’s what has happened to your right toe.
Patient: What’s going to happen to my toenail?
Pharmacist: Well, it will most likely turn black from the dead nail and blood underneath it.
Eventu-ally, it will fall off, but in time your toenail will grow back.
Patient: What should I put on it?
Pharmacist:Do you have any allergies to certain medications?
Patient: Well, I’m allergic to sulfa and iodine.
Pharmacist:OK. Don’t put Betadine on your toe. But if you go to aisle 3, you’ll find Lamisil.
This willhelp with the tenderness that you’re feeling and will prevent the fungal infection
from spreading. Fol-low the directions on the bottle.
Patient:How long will it take before my nail grows back?
Pharmacist:It could be a while before your toenail will grow back, maybe a few months. If
you con-tinue to have problems, or if it begins to ooze more blood, I suggest you make an
appointment with apodiatrist, a foot doctor, or call your primary care doctor. Also, keep your
toe dry and well ventilateduntil you feel comfortable enough to wear closed shoes.
Patient:Thank you so much. I’ll be more careful next time I run another race.
Pharmacist:Take care of your toes.

Dialogue.3 

Pharmacist:Hello. Can I help you?

Patient’s mother:I hope so. We’re on vacation so I can’t make an appointment to see our
pediatricianand was hoping you could help us. My daughter has been scratching her
head a lot. I thought maybeshe’s scratching because of the sun.
Pharmacist:Let me take a look at her hair and her scalp. Has she had head lice
before?
Patient’s mother:No.
Pharmacist:How old is your daughter?
Patient’s mother:She’s 6.
Pharmacist:It looks like she’s got her first case of head lice.
Patient’s mother:She must have picked it up at day camp.
Pharmacist:Maybe. It’s not anything to be embarrassed about. I suggest you buy a metal
louse comband soak it in rubbing alcohol and run it through her hair to remove the
wingless insects. They look like sesame seeds. I also recommend a medicated antilice
treatment. Nix works well. You can find bothin the shampoo aisle. It’s also a good idea
to wash her sheets, pillowcases, towels, and her clothes.
Patient’s mother:Is it hard to use?
Pharmacist:No. First, wash her hair with shampoo, rinse it, and towel dry. Then rub the
Nix creaminto her hair. Make sure her scalp is fully covered with it, as well as behind
the ears and behind her neck.Leave the Nix on for 10 minutes and then rinse. After that,
use the louse comb to remove the lice.
Patient’s mother:How long will it be before the lice are gone?
Pharmacist:If after a week she still has lice, repeat the process.
Patient’s mother:Is head lice contagious?
Pharmacist: Yes, it is, so I recommend you and the rest of your family use Nix too, and
wash yoursheets, pillowcases, and clothes, too.
Patient’s mother:Thank you so much
