Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

If you are a pharmacist transferring in a controlled substance, what do you NOT need to record on the back of the prescription?

1. Transferring pharmacist's name

2. Transferring pharmacy’s phone number

3. Doctor's DEA number

4. Transferring pharmacy's address

The correct answer is: Transferring pharmacist's name

When transferring a controlled substance prescription as a pharmacist, it is important to record specific information on the back of the prescription to ensure proper documentation and tracking. The transferring pharmacist's name is not required to be recorded on the back of the prescription when transferring a controlled substance. However, the transferring pharmacy's phone number, the doctor's DEA number, and the transferring pharmacy's address should be documented for accurate record-keeping and verification purposes. This information helps maintain a clear chain of custody for controlled substances and ensures the authenticity and legality of the transfer process.
