Final Answer:
No, the son cannot pick up the prescription for his 70-year-old father unless he has explicit authorization or a power of attorney. Option b) is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In most jurisdictions, privacy laws and healthcare regulations prohibit the release of medical information, including prescription details, to anyone other than the patient without proper authorization. In this case, the son would need the explicit consent of his father or legal documentation, such as a power of attorney, to pick up the prescription.
This ensures the protection of the patient's privacy and healthcare information. Without the necessary authorization, the pharmacy is likely to deny the son access to the prescription.
Answer is option b) No.
