A patient would like to fax a prescription to the pharmacy from his home for amoxicillin capsules prescribed by his dentist. He would like the medication to be prepared in advance before he arrives to pick it up. The pharmacy can:

  1. Dispense the medication and release it once the original prescription is received

  2. Accept the faxed prescription and deliver the medication to the patient

  3. Contact the dentist’s office and ask then to fax the prescription

The correct answer is: Dispense the medication and release it once the original prescription is received

The correct answer is A. A is the correct option because the pharmacy has the capability to dispense the medication and hold it until the original prescription is received, allowing the patient to pick it up at a later time. Option B is incorrect because it states that the pharmacy would deliver the medication, which is not typically done. Option C is incorrect because it suggests the pharmacy contacting the dentist's office to fax the prescription, when the patient is the one who should be taking care of this task.
