Book Description
Physicians' assistants and advanced registered nurse practitioners may not originate a prescription order, as they are not practitioners within the meaning of the pharmacy act. However, these health care providers may transmit prescription orders pursuant to written protocols. The transmitted order is a prescription order as defined by the pharmacy act. An order may be transmitted through a note written by the health care provider, and the signature of that person is neither required nor prohibited by the pharmacy act. The pharmacist may refuse to fill the prescription if, in the pharmacist's professional judgment and discretion, it is believed that the prescription should not be filled.
