Answer 3: Knowing proper procedure in filling and checking a proper prescription.

  • In a Walgreens pharmacy a patient came in the pharmacy and got a high strength without the right prescription form. The pharmacist let it go and the patient ended up forging the prescription. The pharmacist lost their job and Walgreens is investigating.
