REFLECTION 2REFLECTIONIn my placement in the course of my second year, I was able to identify my competencygap when I was working in the community pharmacy as a community pharmacist, I recall a day Iwas task to monitor drug utilization in a scheme to analyze the prescription monitoring foradverse drug reaction. I was working under my supervisor. It is upon this that I observed myfellow experienced pharmacist wrong dispensing. The pharmacist had been dispensing drug toanother patient, Mr. Smith. For a moment, I thought about what I could or assert, however, bythat point I was already summoned adequate nerve to speak, I felt it was already amiss as thepharmacist had by now dispensing. I became alarmed extremely by the practice, since I had anticipated my senior pharmacistwould dispense correctly to his patient. Nonetheless, I felt extremely intimated since I felt thepharmacist looked extremely knowledgeable than I as a 2nd year pharmacy learner; I neverwanted to humiliate him. Further, I never wanted to make his client worried by challenging himin his presence. To assist me communicate such issues to my senior pharmacist and to resolve myproblem, I planned and spoke to my mentor regarding the incident since the incident remainedhighly challenging to me. I bemoaned that I never acted to contest this practice of the pharmacistbefore he dispensed. He recommended that both of us speak with the pharmacist regarding thepractice. The mentor got the pharmacist inside, questioned him whether he had correctlydispensed. He appeared extremely stunned. He mentioned he had extremely been busy hence hadnot thought about that. My mentor discussed the significance of proper dispensing with him, andthe pharmacist gave an assurance that he would pay much attention prior to dispensing to eachpatient in future.
