Which of the following statements is FALSE about ways that pharmacists can decrease errors?

Document all clarifications on orders
Check prescriptions at the end of the day
Visually check the product in the bottle
Initial all prescriptions that have been checked


Check prescriptions at the end of the day

Rationale: Pharmacists cannot decrease errors by checking prescriptions at the end of the day. Every prescription must be checked at least three times during its filling and dispensing processes, not at a later time (such as the end of the day). All of the other answer choices are good ways that pharmacists can decrease errors.
