A prescription cannot be carried out if it is not:
A. phoned in
B. signed by the physician
C. signed by the pharmacist
D. signed by the pharmacy technician
b
Rationale: A prescription cannot be carried out if it is not signed by the physician. Although the pharmacist and pharmacy technicians play important roles, their signatures are not required because they are not the originators of the prescription, as the physician is. The first choice is incorrect because many prescriptions are physically carried by the patient to the phar-macy and not phoned in.
