Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT required on a non-controlled substance transferred prescription?

1. Last refill date

2. Name and address of prescriber

3. Patient’s birth date

4. Pharmacy name, address, telephone, and prescription number

The correct answer is: Last refill date

On a non-controlled substance transferred prescription, the last refill date is not required as it does not apply to non-controlled medications. It is not necessary to indicate when the prescription was last filled as it is not a controlled substance with a limited number of refills. Adding the last refill date would be redundant and unnecessary. The other options are all required information on a non-controlled substance transferred prescription. The name and address of the prescriber is necessary to ensure the prescription is valid and to identify who wrote it. The patient's birth date is needed for identification purposes and to ensure the prescription is being given to the correct patient. The pharmacy name, address, telephone, and prescription number are all necessary for record keeping and tracking purposes.
