Activity Details
Who Should Participate
This activity is designed for all pharmacists involved in or interested in being involved in smoking cessation management.
Overview
Since smoking is the single most important preventable cause of death in the United States, pharmacists involved in smoking cessation need to take an active role in their healthcare setting to assist in the implementation of the Clinical Practice Guideline: Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence 2008 Update. This activity is a self-administered assessment intended to assess perceived and actual abilities related to smoking cessation. Clinical competencies from the 2008 guidelines will be rated for both current and desired ability, followed by questions related to each competency to provide a more accurate reading of the pharmacist’s ability. Links to various reference sources will allow immediate access to information relative to each competency.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to
- Develop a process to identify tobacco users
- Advise tobacco users to quit
- Refer patients to the toll-free telephone quitline
- Provide medication counseling for the seven FDA-approved medications for cessation
