Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Which practitioner's identification is NOT required in the prescription record system?

1. The physician who authorized the original prescription

2. The pharmacist who dispensed the medication

3. The clinical supervisor

4. The medical assistant

The correct answer is: The physician who authorized the original prescription

In the prescription record system, the identification of the physician who authorized the original prescription is not required. This is because the focus of the prescription record system is on documenting the dispensing of medications by pharmacists, rather than the prescribing activities of the physician. The pharmacist who dispensed the medication, the clinical supervisor, and the medical assistant may need to be identified in the prescription record system to ensure accountability and traceability of the dispensing process.
