What must pharmacists do if prescriptions are from 'episodic care providers'?

Refuse to fill them
Require a consultant's approval
Ensure requirements for the ICD-9 code or diagnosis and obtaining photo ID are met
Contact the patient's primary care provider

The correct answer is: Ensure requirements for the ICD-9 code or diagnosis and obtaining photo ID are met

Pharmacists must ensure that prescriptions from 'episodic care providers' meet all the necessary requirements before filling them. This includes verifying that the ICD-9 code or diagnosis is included and obtaining a photo ID from the patient. This is to ensure the prescription is valid and appropriate for the patient's condition. Refusing to fill the prescription (option A) or requiring a consultant's approval (option B) may cause delays in the patient receiving necessary medication. Contacting the patient's primary care provider (option D) may not always be an option, as the patient may not have a primary care provider or may not be able to reach them in a timely manner. Therefore, option C is the best course of action for pharmacists to ensure safe and proper medication use.
