True/False: Advertising and commercial focus are both factors from Denzin's 1960 Marginal Pharmacy Professional Characteristics that impact how pharmacy is not viewed as "full profession" compared to doctors and lawyers, putting them at a "marginal" profession. 

True, this was one of four factors discussed in this idea behind pharmacy being between a "trade" or full caring profession. The other factors include: is pharmacy recruiting truly committed professionals devoted to society, altruistic goals? Is there a body of knowledge that only can be acquired through their structure? And are pharmacists merely subservient to the physician?

For this problem, you will be taken to a separate patient case PowerPoint practicing interpreting patient adherence using the scoring card we discussed in class.

What is GS's estimated probability of non-adherence?

PT GS would have a score of 11. This would be big concern for patient adherence. 

From the chart we see that scores between 8-36 indicate a less than 32% probability of adherence meaning high risk for adherence issues.

Identify the two forms of resistance that patients may experience and how motivational interviewing addresses both. Then after naming these, complete the motivational interviewing activity to receive points. :)

1. Issue resistance - low motivation, high barriers, complex 

2. Relationship resistance - patient loss of autonomy (face loss), provider tells the pt what they ought to do, absence or loss of trust 

MI addresses both with synergistic effect

For activity:

-must use a "Sounds like", "You're wondering", and "Would it be alright, and tell me what you think" method or phrasing to receive full points.
