What action should a pharmacist take if a faxed prescription might be fraudulent?

Accept it as is
Shred the prescription
Verify by calling the prescriber
Fill the prescription and report afterwards

The correct answer is: Verify by calling the prescriber

A pharmacist should verify by calling the prescriber if a faxed prescription might be fraudulent. This is because accepting it as is (option A) would be unethical and potentially dangerous to the patient. Shredding the prescription (option B) would not provide enough information to determine its validity. Filling the prescription and reporting afterwards (option D) comes with potential legal implications and should only be done after verifying with the prescriber. It is important for the pharmacist to take prompt action in these situations in order to protect both the patient and the integrity of the pharmacy.
