Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Which of the following should be documented on the back of a prescription you are transferring out?

1. Date of transfer

2. Name of transferring pharmacist

3. Name of transferring pharmacy

4. Receiving pharmacy's phone number

The correct answer is: Date of transfer

When transferring a prescription out, it is essential to document the date of transfer on the back of the prescription being transferred. This documentation helps in maintaining a clear record of when the transfer occurred, which can be useful for auditing purposes and in case of any discrepancy or questions that may arise in the future. While the other options may also be important details to note during a prescription transfer, the date of transfer holds particular significance as it establishes a timeline for the transaction. Names of personnel and pharmacies involved, as well as contact information, are important but may not be as crucial as the documentation of the actual date of the transfer on the prescription.
