Can you take a new prescription telephone order from a provider if the pharmacist is absent?

Yes

In Wisconsin, a pharmacist is allowed to take a new prescription telephone order from a provider even if the pharmacist is absent. This is permitted as long as proper procedures are followed, such as accurately documenting the order and ensuring it is reviewed by a pharmacist before dispensing. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options C and D are not entirely accurate, as in Wisconsin, pharmacists can take new prescription orders for both controlled and non-controlled substances, as well as for both urgent and non-urgent prescriptions, as long as the necessary protocols are followed. Option B is not correct since pharmacists can indeed take new prescription telephone orders even in the absence of a pharmacist.
