What is required for a pharmacist to give someone access to another person's DPIN information?

  1. Manager's permission

  2. The patient's consent

  3. A prescription

  4. Law enforcement request

The correct answer is: The patient's consent

A pharmacist is required to obtain the patient's consent in order to give someone access to another person's DPIN information because this information is protected by medical privacy laws. A manager's permission is not enough as the patient's privacy must be respected. A prescription may only give access to the patient's medication information, not their medical records. Law enforcement requests must go through proper channels and cannot bypass the patient's right to privacy. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
