What must be provided to all patients by an LSP?

• A. Counseling materials
• B. Free samples
• C. Insurance information
• D. A patient satisfaction survey

Answer: (A)

The requirement is that an LSP must provide counseling materials to all patients. This serves to ensure patients clearly understand how to use their medication, including directions, storage, what to do if a dose is missed, possible side effects, and potential drug interactions. Having written materials reinforces the counseling you receive verbally and helps prevent misuse, errors, and safety issues, especially for complex or high-risk therapies. While free samples, insurance information, or patient satisfaction surveys may occur in some settings, they are not the universal obligation to every patient in the same way that providing counseling materials is.
