Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

What needs to be documented on a prescription when transferring it into another pharmacy regarding refills?

1. Number of authorized refills

2. Number of refills remaining

3. Date of the last refill

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Number of authorized refills

When transferring a prescription to another pharmacy, it is crucial to document the number of authorized refills on the prescription. This information ensures that the receiving pharmacy knows how many times the prescription can be filled without needing further authorization from the prescriber. While documenting the number of refills remaining and the date of the last refill may also be important for continuity of care, the most critical piece of information to document during a transfer is the number of authorized refills. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
