With the new stated regulations, I believe the focus of care provided to patients in long term care facilities have been acknowledged and met with allowing a back up pharmacy to issue a 7 day supply to patients when primary pharmacy does not have medication readily available. It keep patients on track with the care they need. 

When it comes to the safety of the pharmacist and and the care of patients, the ability of allowing the pharmacist to recover a forged perscription or returning it to patient at his discreation under the circumstances will not only keep the pharmacist safe but the patients and other pharmacy staff out of harms way and trust with the pharmacist.
