Under OBRA '90 requirements, a pharmacist needs to perform the DUR (Drug Utilization Review) before dispensing a prescription, and only pharmacist alone.
Therefore, legally, an intern cannot perform DUR and so cannot dispense a prescription.
In practice, eventhough pharmacist allows intern to do the DUR, pharmacist's initials is always on the prescription label. It means, in the court of laws, the pharmacist does the DUR and so the dispensing, not the intern.
Besides, answer A is not a good choice. A "pharmacist is available in the same building" does not really mean that he/she directly supervises the intern!
So, legally, the correct answer is E.
