Question: 1 / 400

If a dentist prescribes high blood pressure medication, can the pharmacist fill the prescription?

Yes, it's within the dentist's scope of practice

No, it's outside the dentist's scope of practice and the pharmacist should prescribe a continued care prescription

The correct answer is B because dentists are only authorized to prescribe medications related to oral health issues, and high blood pressure medication falls under the scope of practice for medical doctors. Therefore, it is important for the pharmacist to request a continued care prescription from the patient's primary care physician in order to ensure proper and safe treatment. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either misrepresent the roles of dentists and pharmacists or do not address the issue of obtaining a continued care prescription.
