Can pharmacists access DPIN for tax purposes?

  1. Yes, anytime

  2. No, only for patient care purposes

  3. Yes, but only with patient consent

  4. No, unless explicitly requested by the government

The correct answer is: No, only for patient care purposes

Pharmacists can only access DPIN for patient care purposes, as it is a confidential patient identifier. Accessing it for tax purposes would be a violation of patient privacy and is not allowed. While pharmacists may have access to certain tax-related information through patient records, they cannot access DPIN specifically for tax purposes. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that pharmacists can access DPIN for purposes other than patient care, which is not true.
