Answer to Question 1

Answer: (Any five of the following)
 Know your personal and family medical history.
 Research your conditioncauses, effect, possible treatments, etc. Don't rely solely on your provider for information.
 Bring someone with you to appointments to listen and ask questions. If you go alone, take notes.
 Ask the practitioner to explain the problem and possible tests, treatments, and medications. If you don't understand anything, ask for explanations in simpler language.
 If the provider prescribes medication, ask whether you can take a generic version.
 Ask for a written summary of the results of your visit and any lab tests.
 Seek a second opinion about important tests or treatment recommendations.
 After an appointment, write down an account of what happened and what was said.
 When filling prescriptions, make sure the pharmacist provides you with information about the drugs and their possible interactions.
 Read the label when purchasing over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
