providing an act or service necessary to provide pharmaceutical care;

interpreting or evaluating a prescription drug order or medication order;

participating in drug or device selection as authorized by law, and participating in drug administration, drug regimen review, or drug or drug-related research;

providing patient counseling; being responsible for:dispensing a prescription drug order or

distributing a medication order; compounding or labeling a drug and device other than by a

manufacturer, repackager, or distributor of a nonprescription drug or commercially packaged prescription properly and safely storing a drug or device or maintaining proper records for a drug or device;

performing for a patient a specific act of drug therapy management delegated to a pharmacist by a written protocol from a physician licensed in this state in compliance with Subtitle B; or administering an immunization or vaccination under a physician's written protocol.
