For which type of prescriptions must a pharmacist directly counsel the patient or patient's agent?
Only for controlled substances
For all prescriptions delivered outside of the pharmacy
Only for over-the-counter medications
For new prescriptions only
The correct answer is: For all prescriptions delivered outside of the pharmacy
Direct counseling from a pharmacist is required for prescriptions that are delivered outside of the pharmacy. The dispensing of controlled substances and over-the-counter medications does not mandate direct counseling. Additionally, direct counseling is not limited to just new prescriptions.
