CVS Pharmacy Technician Certification Practice Test

How do you complete the accuracy scan verification?

1. With your initials only

2. The prescription number

3. Your credentials

4. Using the pharmacist's signature

The correct answer is: Your credentials

Completing the accuracy scan verification involves using your credentials to ensure accountability and traceability in the medication dispensing process. This step confirms that a qualified individual has verified the prescription's accuracy before it is handed over to the patient. By using your credentials, you establish a record that supports compliance with pharmacy regulations and safety protocols, ensuring that only authorized personnel are involved in the verification process. Other options, while related in various contexts, do not fulfill the requirement for formal verification. Initials alone lack the authority that credentials provide, a prescription number does not verify the individual responsible for accuracy, and a pharmacist's signature would imply verification by the pharmacist, which does not pertain to the technician's completion of the accuracy scan verification. Each aspect reinforces the integrity of the pharmacy system, but only the use of credentials properly fits the verification protocol.
