How must a practitioner relay a verbal order for a prescription?

  1. Through a receptionist

  2. Directly to the pharmacist

  3. In writing only

  4. Via email

The correct answer is: Directly to the pharmacist

A practitioner must relay a verbal order for a prescription directly to the pharmacist in order to ensure accuracy and timely processing. Choosing option A would add an additional step and increase the risk of miscommunication. Option C is not a viable option for a verbal order. Option D may seem convenient, but it is not considered a secure or appropriate way to relay sensitive medical information.
