Select the correct order of events in the journey of a prescription.

Processing a prescription through a pharmacy follows a clear sequence to protect safety and ensure accuracy. It starts with the prescriber writing the order and sending it to the pharmacy. The staff then enters the prescription into the system. A Pharmacist performs a precheck to verify dosing, drug interactions, allergies, and other safety factors before the order moves forward. After this, the order is printed to create the physical record and labeling steps. The actual filling and labeling are done by a Fulfillment Tech, who prepares the medication and attaches the label. A Pharmacist then performs a final check to confirm everything matches the prescription and is correct before dispensing the medication to the patient. This is why the shown correct sequence fits best: it includes data entry, pharmacist precheck, printing, fulfillment filling and labeling, final pharmacist check, and dispensing. Other options omit essential steps, reorder steps in ways that don’t reflect typical practice, or assign roles to the wrong people (for example, having a Pharmacist perform the fill or a Fulfillment Tech perform the final check), which disruptions would not align with standard workflow.
