EXERCISE NO. 1
The expertise of pharmacists in accurately weighing and measuring materials is a historical and
unique skill, acquired through professional education and training. Moreover, this capability is an
expectation of other health professionals and the patient community being served. It is not an
overstatement to say that patients’ lives depend on it.
The role of the pharmacist in providing pharmaceutical care includes the ability and responsibility
to compound—that is, to accurately weigh, measure volume, and combine individual therapeutic and
pharmaceutical components in the formulation and preparation of prescriptions and medication orders.
