So close. One thing to fix.

You spotted the duplicate and got the GP on side. Just one question let you down.

Fix this first

Always ask about other medicines

He takes warfarin, but you never asked, so the risk wasn't reasonably minimised.

11:05 · You said

“Okay, so just the one tablet then. I'll give the hospital a call.”

Try this instead

“Before I call, are you taking anything else? Including medicines from other doctors, or anything you buy yourself?”

How you did

  • No serious harm to the patientPassed

    Nothing was supplied before the duplication was raised.

    1. 04:30 · You saidBoth of these are atorvastatin, just different brands.You stopped him doubling up before anything was supplied.
  • Risk reasonably minimisedNot met

    Other medicines weren't explored, so his warfarin went unnoticed.

    1. 11:05 · You saidOkay, so just the one tablet then.You wrapped up the history here without asking about other medicines.
    2. 14:20 · You said to the prescriberI think he might be on two statins, so maybe he should stop one?The GP needed a clear recommendation, not an open question.
  • Practised legally and professionallyPassed

    Contacted the GP before changing therapy.

  • Reasonable factual knowledgePassed

    You correctly identified the brand and generic as the same medicine.

    1. 04:30 · You saidBoth of these are atorvastatin, just different brands.Accurate and in plain words he could follow.

Go deeper

  • Hidden facts: you found 2 of 3. Missed: he takes warfarin and sometimes forgets doses.
  • Counselling: covered dose, timing and when to return. Missed side effects and what to watch for.
  • Skills: strong at spotting the issue, weighing options, the prescriber call and acting promptly. Work on history taking and counselling.
  • Prescriber call, 14:20: you said “I think he might be on two statins, so maybe he should stop one?” Try “He has both brand and generic atorvastatin 40 mg at home. I recommend he continues one product only. Can you confirm?”

Practice feedback, not a predicted exam result. This case is a draft and still needs pharmacist review.
