Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to choose the pharmacy technician action that supports accurate processing, patient safety, legal compliance, and proper workflow for the sig interpretation scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because sig interpretation is tested by asking candidates to choose the pharmacy technician action that supports accurate processing, patient safety, legal compliance, and proper workflow. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
