May any prescriptions be filled in the absence of a licensed pharmacist?

Yes, by any pharmacy technician
No, under no circumstances
Only by a pharmacy technician with special certification
Only by a graduate intern

The correct answer is: Only by a graduate intern

In general, prescriptions cannot be filled in the absence of a licensed pharmacist. However, there is an exception for graduate interns who are working under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist. This is because graduate interns have completed their pharmacy education and are qualified to dispense prescription medications, but are still gaining experience and must be supervised by a licensed pharmacist. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because a pharmacy technician, regardless of special certification, is not legally allowed to fill prescriptions without a licensed pharmacist present. Therefore, option D is the most accurate answer.
