Transferring an active prescription between pharmacies is a task reserved for licensed pharmacists or pharmacy interns working under supervision. Both pharmacists and intern pharmacists are authorized to initiate and complete prescription transfers, communicating the necessary prescription details to the receiving pharmacy and ensuring the record is updated correctly. Pharmacy technicians don’t have this authority to perform the transfer itself, even though they may assist with other duties. So the transfer can involve either a pharmacist or an intern pharmacist, which is why that option is the correct choice.
