Pursuant to established policies and procedures and the
supervising pharmacist's professional judgment, a supervising pharmacist may
delegate nontechnical functions in the operation of the pharmacy, except those
which are prohibited pursuant to rule
657-5.17 (155A), to an
appropriately trained and registered pharmacy support person, but only if the
pharmacist is on site and available to supervise the pharmacy support person
when delegated functions are performed, except as provided in rule
657-6.7 (124,155A) or
657-7.6(155A), as appropriate. The ultimate responsibility for the actions of a
pharmacy support person shall remain with the supervising pharmacist. A
pharmacy license holder shall not infringe on the authority of a supervising
pharmacist to delegate or decline to delegate specific nontechnical functions
to a pharmacy support person based on the supervising pharmacist's professional
judgment regarding the knowledge and training of the pharmacy support
person.
