What are pharmacists required to do if they sell a pharmacy's prescription files?

  1. Nothing, as it is a common practice

  2. Report the selling of PHI

  3. Advertise the sale in a local newspaper

  4. Get consent from all patients

The correct answer is: Report the selling of PHI

Pharmacists are required to report the selling of PHI (Protected Health Information) because they have access to sensitive information about patients' medications and medical histories. Option A is incorrect because it is not a common practice and can have serious legal consequences. Option C is incorrect because advertising the sale of PHI in a newspaper would be a violation of patient privacy. Option D may seem like a potential solution, but it is not a requirement and can be difficult to obtain consent from all patients. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate answer.
