Abstract: | The area of diagnostic testing and provision of home test kits is one example where the pharmacist can fill a much needed role as a provider of information and patient education. Diagnostic testing monitors an existing condition and its treatment (e.g. diabetes) and detects or excludes the presence of symptoms of a condition (e.g. pregnancy). The provision of such services is consistent with the pharmacist's extended role since the communication of the test results to clients provides a focus for health education. As a result, pharmacists may promote both primary prevention through health education and secondary prevention by the early detection of health problems through screening. |
