Answer: (Any five of the following)

 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.
