Why might a pharmacist not be able to verify an order?

A pharmacist might not be able to verify an order if some aspects of the order need to be modified before verification. This situation can arise when the initial order lacks certain details or includes information that does not align with established protocols or guidelines. For instance, if a medication dosage is incorrect, an incompatible drug is ordered for the patient's condition, or specific patient allergies are not accounted for, these issues would necessitate modifications before the order could be appropriately verified.

In practice, the verification process requires that all elements of the order be accurate and complete to ensure patient safety and effective treatment. Any need for modification directly impacts the pharmacist's ability to validate and process the order as it stands.
