A community pharmacist decides to collaborate with the local health department to offer expanded services for geriatric patients. Which of the following is the most appropriate first step to take?

Hire an additional registered pharmacy technician to assist with the increased workload.
Arrange for a meeting with the local public health nurses.
Seek financial sponsorship from pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Gather information about geriatric issues in the community.

The correct answer is: Gather information about geriatric issues in the community.

It is important to first gather information about geriatric issues in the community in order to better understand the needs and concerns of the population. This will help the pharmacist in developing appropriate services and collaborating with the health department. Option A is incorrect because hiring an additional pharmacy technician may not be necessary and would increase costs. Option B is incorrect because the pharmacist should gather information before meeting with other healthcare professionals. Option C is incorrect because seeking financial sponsorship should not be a priority at this stage and could be seen as biased towards certain manufacturers.
