Hey guys,

I am taking CPJE on Tuesday, and I was doing the practice questions on the PSI Handbook. I don’t understand why #24 is the specified answer:

.24. A pharmacy clerk is typing a prescription for zolpidem. The.
.pharmacy clerk pulls the medication from the stock and hands.
.it to the pharmacy technician to fill. The technician fills the.
.prescription and hands it to the pharmacist for the final.
.verification. Which of the following actions should the.
.pharmacist take?.
.1. Verify that the prescription was filled correctly, sign the.
.prescription, and dispense the medication..
.2. Do not dispense the medication since a pharmacy clerk.
.cannot type new prescriptions..
.3. Do not dispense the medication since a pharmacy clerk.
.cannot pull the medication from the stock..
.4. Do not dispense the medication since the pharmacy.
.technician cannot fill controlled substances..
.A. 1 only.
.B. 2 and 3 only.
.C. 2 and 4 only.
.D. 3 and 4 only.
. .
.It states the correct answer is D. I do not understand why #4 is true. Pharmacy technicians can totally count controlled substances in CA, last I checked. .
