When are the three different times a prescription is checked for proper name?

What will be an ideal response?


When the technician filling the prescription retrieves the stock bottle from the shelf, he or she checks the name on the receipt or label against the name on the stock bottle.
When the technician takes the stock bottle from the shelf to the counter he or she performs a second name versus name check immediately before the product is counted or poured.
The third check of the drug name on the receipt, label, or original prescription is made after the filling is completed and the label has been placed on the bottle.
