"What is this?";
Let the patient know which medication you are giving & what it is intended to treat.
✓ Model Response: This is lisinopril, which you are getting to help control your high blood
pressure.
"I guess I'm not supposed to take this with food. Is that right?";
This is an opportunity to teach the patient whether this medication should be taken with food.
✓ Model Response: Lisinopril can actually be taken with or without food, whatever fits your
routine best. What is most important is to take this at the same time everyday.
"Is it okay to take this with the blood thinner they're giving me?";
Inform your patient whether there is an interaction between these drugs.
✓ Model Response: I'm glad you asked. There is no interaction between these drugs, so it's
okay to take them together. It's actually very important to keep your high blood pressure
well controlled while you are receiving blood thinners like warfarin and enoxaparin, which
means you'll want to keep taking your lisinopril regularly while you are on those
medications.

Let your patient know about the generic medication he is receiving.
✓ Model Response: Yes, this is atorvastatin, which is the generic name for lipitor. I'm giving
it to you to help keep your cholesterol levels under control.

This is an opportunity to educate your patient on the lifestyle adjustments he can make to
improve the desired outcomes of this medication.
✓ Model Response: To manage your cholesterol levels effectively, it is important to work on
this in your lifestyle too. Having a regular exercise regimen, eating a diet that is low in
fats, carbohydrates, and alcohols, and not smoking can help this medication do its job.
