Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64B16-28.602 - Institutional Class II Class III Dispensing

(1) Pharmaceutical preparations which are administered to patients of a hospital by the personnel of such institution shall only be taken from the original container, or from a container which has been prepared by a Florida licensed pharmacist. Only single doses of such preparations shall be removed from the container, and then only after the preparation has been prescribed for a specific patient, and the order has been duly recorded upon the records of the institution. This requirement shall not apply to nor be construed as preventing the administration of treatment in bona fide emergency cases, or further as prohibiting any person who is a duly licensed physician from dispensing medicinal drugs as defined in chapter 465, F.S. A single dose of medicinal drugs based upon a valid physician's drug order may also be obtained and administered under the supervision of the nurse in charge consistent with good institutional practice procedures as established by the consultant pharmacist of record and written in the policy and procedure manual which shall be available within the pharmacy.

(2) A Class II or Class III Institutional pharmacy may contract with a Special Parenteral/Enteral Extended Scope pharmacy for the pharmacy services provided for by rule 64B16-28.860, F.A.C.
