Which of the following tasks are certified pharmacy technicians allowed to perform?

Certified pharmacy technicians are allowed to take phone prescriptions from a provider's office as part of their role in the pharmacy setting. This task involves communicating with healthcare providers to receive and relay medication orders, which is an essential function in the medication dispensing process.

Pharmacy technicians must ensure that they accurately capture prescription information, including the drug name, strength, dosage form, quantity, and directions for use. This task supports the workflow of the pharmacy and is critical for ensuring that patients receive their medications promptly and accurately.

In contrast, conducting physical exams, providing clinical consultations, and determining medication dosages are tasks typically reserved for licensed pharmacists or other healthcare professionals qualified to make clinical decisions. These acts require specialized education and training in clinical practices, which pharmacy technicians do not possess. Thus, task B aligns correctly with the scope of practice permitted for certified pharmacy technicians.
