a pharmacist dispenses a medication to a patient that was not prescribed by the physician. this action is an example of:
ethical behavior
unprofessional conduct
a legal gray area
standard practice
Ethical behavior involves following moral and professional standards, so dispensing unprescribed medication is not ethical. A legal gray area implies uncertainty in legality, but this action is clearly against professional norms. Standard practice requires following prescriptions, so this isn't standard. Unprofessional conduct refers to actions violating professional ethics/norms, and dispensing unprescribed medication does so.
