Practice question Gezondheidszorg (Healthcare)
What does the pharmacy do?
In Dutch: Wat doet de apotheek?
Choices
- Providing medicine on prescription from the GP or specialistCorrect answer
- Filing tax returns
- Registering you with the municipality
- Drawing blood for tests
Explanation
Correct answer: Providing medicine on prescription from the GP or specialist
The pharmacy hands out medicines on a doctor's prescription. In the Netherlands you cannot just buy strong medicines without a prescription. The pharmacist also gives advice on how to use them. Many pharmacies have a repeat service: you call or send a message before a certain time and your medicine is ready.
Why the other choices are wrong
- Option B: Tax returns are filed with the Belastingdienst, not handled by a pharmacy.
- Option C: You register at the gemeente. A pharmacy is only for healthcare and medication.
- Option D: A pharmacy gives out medicine. It does not take blood.
