The answer is the third one (c): The Pharmacist must call the provider to change the form.

Explanation for each option:

a. The Pharmacy Tech can change the dosage form.

  • Incorrect. Pharmacy Technicians do not have the authority to change a prescription's dosage form without proper authorization. This decision must be made by a pharmacist or the prescribing provider.

b. The Pharmacy Tech needs to check with the Pharmacist.

  • Incorrect. While the Pharmacy Technician should consult with the Pharmacist, the ultimate decision to change a dosage form requires communication with the prescribing provider, not just the pharmacist.

c. The Pharmacist must call the provider to change the form.

  • Correct. Any change to a prescription, including the dosage form, must be authorized by the prescribing provider. The pharmacist is responsible for contacting the provider to obtain this authorization.

d. The Pharmacy Tech receives the auth from the Pharmacist.

  • Incorrect. The Pharmacy Technician cannot receive authorization directly from the pharmacist to change a dosage form. The authorization must come from the prescribing provider, facilitated by the pharmacist.

In summary, the correct initial step to change a dosage form on a prescription is for the pharmacist to contact the provider for authorization.
