Can a pharmacy intern perform the final verification of a prescription?

Yes, if a pharmacist is present
No, they are not authorized
Yes, if they have been trained
No, unless they are licensed

The correct answer is: No, they are not authorized

A pharmacy intern is not authorized to perform the final verification of a prescription because this task requires the professional judgment and accountability of a licensed pharmacist. The final verification is a critical step in the dispensing process where the pharmacist ensures that the medication, dosage, and patient information are correct and appropriate. This responsibility cannot be delegated to an intern, as they are still in training and do not hold the credentials needed to take on such a significant role in patient safety and medication management. While pharmacy interns may assist with many tasks, including preparing prescriptions and assisting with medication management, the verification process is specifically designated for licensed pharmacists to safeguard accuracy and quality control within the pharmacy setting.
