Feedback: Assignment 2 2. The case you will review is Case 69: Alzheimer’s Disease and this is the first 3 pages of the document. You need to fully answer questions 1 through 6. 3. Pages 4-8 of the document will walk you through the steps of how to effectively identify drug therapy problems. This is a tool to help you, including the sample Pharmaceutical Patient Care Record. You are free to choose if you want to use the care record, but it is not required. I would suggest that it will help you thoroughly parse out your case for maximum points. 4. Please do not write paragraph after paragraph when answering the questions of this case. Complete answers can be given in bullet points and/or tables–as long as all information needed is present. ..
