pharmacist to dispense this prescription?
A. The prescriber must have a valid DEA registration in their home state and be authorized to
practice in Virginia. CORRECT
B. The prescriber must obtain a Virginia DEA registration before the prescription can be filled.
C. The pharmacist may dispense only if the prescriber is located in a state that has reciprocity
with Virginia.
D. The pharmacist may dispense if the prescription is for a 30-day supply or less and the

authorized to practice in Virginia. Option B is incorrect because a separate Virginia DEA
registration is not required. Option C is incorrect because there is no specific reciprocity
requirement; federal law and Virginia regulations govern. Option D is incorrect because the
