Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Which information is NOT required for maintaining prescription records systems?

1. Date of issuance of the prescription

2. Patient identification

3. Pharmacist identification

4. Quantity dispensed

The correct answer is: Date of issuance of the prescription

Date of issuance of the prescription is not required because once a prescription has been filled, it becomes part of the patient's medication profile. The date can be used as a reference point to track when the prescription was prescribed, but it is not essential information for maintaining prescription records systems. Patient identification, pharmacist identification and quantity dispensed are all important pieces of information needed to ensure proper dispensing and tracking of medications. Without this information, it would be difficult to ensure accurate record-keeping and identification of patients and pharmacists involved in the dispensing process.
