Part 1

Read the case studies below, and then respond to the questions that follow.

Jackie is a pharmacy technician. She receives a faxed prescription for a Schedule II drug for a patient in a long-term care facility. She questions her supervisor about the prescription. Robert, her supervisor, asks, "Do you think our state allows us to fill a faxed prescription for Schedule II drugs?" John, another pharmacy staff member, overhears this and says, "Yes, we are okay. DEA regulations permit faxed prescriptions of Schedule II drugs for patients in long-term care facilities." "Maybe so," Robert says, "but I still want to know her response, because I don't know what state law says." John replies, "It doesn't matter. The DEA is a federal agency. Federal law overrides state law. Go ahead and fill it, Jackie. You will be all right." Robert disagrees, saying, "I don't think we can make that assumption."

Question 1: Without knowing anything else about this case, who do you think is correct? Why?
