CVS Pharmacy Technician License Exam
Questions With Correct Answers
Counseling - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-While Technicians are able to make
the offer to counsel, they are not able to conduct a counseling or
provide recommendations about prescriptions or health related
product to a patient. Counseling may only be done by a Pharmacist or
Pharmacy Intern, under the supervision of a Pharmacist. The counseling
is typically done in-person at any point throughout pharmacy business
hours. If the patient is not present in person, counseling may be done
over the phone or be put in writing. Patients are provided the
pharmacy's phone number on their prescription bag and are always
encouraged to call the pharmacy should they have any questions.
Delivery - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-While the Pharmacists and
Technicians may offer delivery, most facilities will use an outside courier
to conduct the delivery. For HIPAA reasons, only pertinent information
for the delivery will be viewable to the courier. If the patient is not
home at the time of the delivery, the package should be returned to the
pharmacy and rescheduled for delivery.
