Who can request non-CRC packaging for all of their prescriptions?
Pharmacists for any patient
Prescriber for specific patients
Patient or their agent
Institutionalized patients only
The correct answer is: Patient or their agent
Non-CRC packaging refers to packaging for clients who require unit-dose, multi-dose, or multi-dose compliant packaging. This type of packaging involves organizing multiple medications into single doses to ensure accuracy and ease of administration. Pharmacists may request non-CRC packaging for patients in certain situations, but this is not the most accurate answer for this question. Prescribers may only request this type of packaging for specific patients who require it, and institutionalized patients are also eligible for non-CRC packaging. However, the correct answer is C as patients or their agent have the right to request this type of packaging for all of their prescriptions. Thus A, B, and D are all incorrect as they do not fulfill the requirements stated in the question.
