What should pharmacists do if they decide not to fill an M3P prescription?

Nothing, just inform the patient verbally
Destroy the prescription immediately
Notify the patient and prescriber, document and retain the prescription
Send the prescription back to the prescriber

The correct answer is: Notify the patient and prescriber, document and retain the prescription

Pharmacists should always properly document and retain any prescriptions that they have decided not to fill, as well as notifying both the patient and the prescriber. This is important for legal and safety reasons. If the prescription is destroyed or sent back to the prescriber, there will be no record of the pharmacist's decision and reasoning, which could lead to potential issues or errors in the future. Simply informing the patient verbally is not sufficient as it does not provide a record of the conversation. Therefore, C is the best course of action in this scenario.
