What must the pharmacist do each time a prescription is picked up from a remote dispensing site?

Ensure a technician is present
Review the prescription with the patient
Sign the pickup log
Talk to the patient

The correct answer is: Ensure a technician is present

When a prescription is picked up from a remote dispensing site, it is important for the pharmacist to ensure a technician is present. This is because the pharmacist must verify that the medication being dispensed matches the information on the prescription, and a technician can assist in this process. Reviewing the prescription with the patient (B) may be useful but is not necessary for each pickup. Signing the pickup log (C) is important for record-keeping, but it is not the primary responsibility of the pharmacist in this situation. Similarly, while talking to the patient (D) may be beneficial, it is not necessary for each pickup and does not ensure the accuracy of the dispensed medication. Therefore, the most crucial action for the pharmacist to take when a prescription is picked up from a remote dispensing site is to ensure a technician is present.
