What is a remote pharmacy?

A remote pharmacy is fundamentally defined as a location where pharmacist oversight is maintained through the use of technology, allowing a pharmacy technician to operate under the guidance of a pharmacist who may not be onsite. This setup enables the delivery of pharmacy services even in areas where direct pharmacist presence may not be feasible.

In the case of option B, this definition holds true, as it indicates that the pharmacy is staffed by a technician who has remote access to a pharmacist. This arrangement allows for the necessary professional supervision required to dispense medications safely and effectively, ensuring compliance with pharmacy laws and regulations.

Other options do not fit the criteria for a remote pharmacy. A pharmacy without any staff would not be able to provide services and therefore wouldn't function as a pharmacy. A pharmacy that only offers online services does not necessarily have remote pharmacist support or the same operational framework and oversight as a remote pharmacy does. Lastly, a chain pharmacy with multiple locations indicates a traditional brick-and-mortar operation rather than utilizing remote technology to enhance service accessibility.
