CVS Pharmacy Technician LicenseCounseling Correct Ans - While Technicians are able to make the offer
to counsel, they are not able to conduct a counseling or provide
recommendations about prescriptions or health related product to a patient.
Counseling may only be done by a Pharmacist or Pharmacy Intern, under the
supervision of a Pharmacist. The counseling is typically done in-person at any
point throughout pharmacy business hours. If the patient is not present in
person, counseling may be done over the phone or be put in writing. Patients
are provided the pharmacy's phone number on their prescription bag and are
always encouraged to call the pharmacy should they have any questions.
Delivery Correct Ans - While the Pharmacists and Technicians may
offer delivery, most facilities will use an outside courier to conduct the

the package should be returned to the pharmacy and rescheduled for delivery.
