As part of the NRT furnishing protocol, which action is required?

Assessing tobacco use and quit history is essential before furnishing nicotine replacement therapy because this information guides which product and dose will best support the patient’s quit attempt and allows for tailored counseling. A chest X-ray is not part of the NRT furnishing protocol; it’s a diagnostic test unrelated to initiating or guiding NRT. Prescribing a nicotine patch for all patients ignores individual health status, contraindications, and patient preference, since different NRT forms (gum, lozenge, inhaler, nasal spray) suit different people and situations. There isn’t a universal 2-day supply limit in the protocol; the aim is to provide appropriate, evidence-based support and follow-up to help the patient quit.
