Question: 1 / 400

When must a pharmacist report a patient's behavior or situation in methadone treatment?

Never, due to privacy laws

Only if the patient consents

When unusual behavior or non-compliance is observed

When a pharmacist observes unusual behavior or non-compliance in a patient undergoing methadone treatment, they are required to report it. This is because methadone treatment is highly regulated and a patient's safety and well-being must be prioritized. Option A is incorrect because there are exceptions to privacy laws, such as in cases of suspected substance abuse. Option B is incorrect because only the patient's consent is not sufficient for reporting, as the safety and well-being of other individuals may be at risk. Option D is incorrect because a patient's request does not necessarily mean their behavior or situation needs to be reported, unless it falls under the criteria of unusual behavior or non-compliance.
