What is NOT permitted for pharmacy assistants to do?

  1. Stocking shelves

  2. Retrieving drug product to fill a prescription

  3. Typing and filing

  4. Answering nonprofessional phone inquiries

The correct answer is: Retrieving drug product to fill a prescription

Pharmacy assistants are not permitted to retrieve drug product to fill a prescription. This task is reserved for licensed pharmacists or pharmacy technicians, who have received appropriate training and certification. Any incorrect or uninformed handling of medication can pose serious health risks to patients, and therefore it is essential for only trained and qualified professionals to handle and dispense prescription drugs. Therefore, stocking shelves, typing and filing, and answering nonprofessional phone inquiries are tasks that are permitted for pharmacy assistants to do, but retrieving drug product to fill a prescription is not.
