Drug information queries were analysed over a representative period of 10 weeks in a 1,300 bed psychiatric hospital. A total of 90 queries were answered; 30 of these related to psychiatric drugs but 60 were concerned with general medical conditions. Half the number of questions came from doctors who, in presenting a diagnosis, were asking for information on the most appropriate therapy available. Queries from nurses formed the bulk of the remainder. The results of the survey disprove the misconception that pharmacy practice in a psychiatric hospital is highly specialized.
在一家拥有1300张床位的精神病医院，对10周的代表性时间段内的药物信息查询进行了分析。总共回答了90个查询；其中30个与精神科药物有关，但60个涉及一般医疗状况。一半的问题来自医生，他们在提出诊断时，询问有关可用的最合适治疗方法的信息。其余大部分查询来自护士。调查结果反驳了精神病医院药房工作高度专业化的误解。
