When a patient or a patient’s agent brings a drug into the hospital, the drug may only be administered to the patient if:
- (1) The practitioner or pharmacist has identified it and it is in a pharmacy labeled container; and
- (2) Any administration is pursuant to a practitioner’s order; or
- (3) In the pharmacist’s professional judgment, withholding the drug would be detrimental to the patient’s health. In such a case, the pharmacist may authorize administration of the drug pursuant to a practitioner’s order.
