Jessica Johnson brings in a prescription for Valium that looks like it has been photocopied. What is the most appropriate course of action?
  1. Call the police
  2. Fill the prescription anyway
  3. Ask the patient if she photocopied the prescription
  4. Check to see if she has filled the prescription at your pharmacy before, and call the doctor's office to alert them to the situation.
Explanation
Answer: D - Check to see if she has filled the prescription at your pharmacy before, and call the doctor's office to alert them to the situation. A photocopied prescription is not valid, and the doctor's office should be made aware of the situation. Filling the prescription would not be appropriate if the prescription has been photocopied (not valid).
