A Washington pharmacist receives an electronic prescription for a Schedule II
controlled substance from an out-of-state prescriber who is not registered with the
DEA in Washington. Under federal and Washington law, which action is most

state. CORRECT
B. Refuse to dispense because Washington requires all prescribers to have a Washington DEA
registration.
C. Dispense only if the prescriber is enrolled in the Washington Prescription Monitoring Program.
D. Refuse to dispense because Schedule II prescriptions cannot be filled from out-of-state
prescribers.

comply with state law. Options B and D are incorrect because they impose nonexistent
requirements; C is irrelevant to dispensing validity.
