A. Providing patient information on medications.
B. Offering developmental program for staff education.
C. Rotating staff regularly to assume different responsibility and task.

2. Look for cues and keywords or key phrases. Cue here is NOT CONTRIBUTE. Key phrase, safe medication use system. To answer this question correctly, understand that this is a team effort that involves not only the health care professionals but the patients as well. Continuing education has to be provided to staff in order to educate the patient efficiently during counseling. In addition, each pharmacy has to follow standard process in handling medication incidences. Choice C is correct in sense but it benefits the pharmacy operation by helping staff to be well-rounded.
