Delivery of prescription drugs is acceptable when the person delivering is acting as an agent of the pharmacy.

• A. Yes, if authorized by the pharmacist.
• B. No, delivery is not allowed.
• C. Yes, when acting as an agent of the pharmacy.
• D. Only for non-prescription items.

Answer: (C)

Delivery of prescription drugs is allowed when the person delivering is acting as an agent of the pharmacy. The pharmacist may delegate delivery tasks to trained staff or approved delivery personnel, but the pharmacist remains responsible for ensuring the medication is correct, properly labeled, and provided with appropriate patient information. In this arrangement, the deliverer operates under the pharmacist’s authority, not as an independent actor, which is why this is permitted. The other statements miss the essential relationship: it’s not about merely being authorized, and delivery isn’t restricted to non-prescription items.
