Who must directly counsel the patient according to WAC 246-869-220?

  1. Any licensed health professional

  2. The attending physician

  3. The pharmacist

  4. The nurse

The correct answer is: The pharmacist

According to WAC 246-869-220, the pharmacist is responsible for providing direct counseling to the patient. This is because pharmacists are extensively trained in medication use and have a thorough understanding of potential side effects, drug interactions, and proper use of medications. While licensed health professionals, attending physicians, and nurses may also have knowledge about medications, they are not the ones who are specifically tasked with providing direct counseling to the patient. Therefore, options A, B, and D are not the best choices for who must directly counsel the patient.
