What actions must the receiving pharmacist take when treating the transferred prescription as an oral prescription?

  1. Record it in the computer system only

  2. Reduce the prescription to writing on a prescription blank and perform other required steps

  3. Notify the original prescribing doctor

  4. Only update the patient’s profile

The correct answer is: Reduce the prescription to writing on a prescription blank and perform other required steps

When treating a transferred prescription as an oral prescription, the receiving pharmacist must reduce the prescription to writing on a prescription blank and perform other required steps. This includes updating the patient's profile, recording the prescription in the computer system, and notifying the original prescribing doctor. Option A is incorrect as simply recording it in the computer system does not fulfill all the required steps. Option C and D are incorrect as they do not address the necessary action of reducing the prescription to writing.
