What is the purpose of a central fill component in a pharmacy?

  1. Provide emergency services

  2. Store and prepare drugs for other pharmacies

  3. Operate an online pharmacy

  4. Serve personal care home residents

The correct answer is: Store and prepare drugs for other pharmacies

A central fill component in a pharmacy is responsible for storing and preparing drugs for other pharmacies, which helps to streamline the process and make it more efficient. Option A, providing emergency services, is incorrect because that is typically the role of a retail pharmacy or hospital pharmacy. Option C, operating an online pharmacy, is also incorrect because that would be the main function of an online pharmacy, not a central fill component. And option D, serving personal care home residents, is incorrect because that is the role of a long-term care or nursing home pharmacy, not a central fill component.
