North Dakota Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What should be marked on the original prescription after a transfer?

REUSE

VOID

When a prescription is transferred from one pharmacy to another, the original prescription must be marked to indicate that it is no longer valid for dispensing to prevent any confusion or potential misuse. Marking it as "VOID" effectively communicates that the prescription cannot be filled at the originating pharmacy anymore, ensuring that the patient's medication is only dispensed at the new location.

This practice protects the integrity of the prescription process and ensures that healthcare providers are aware that the original prescription has been transferred. It prevents the possibility of duplicate fills, which can lead to medication errors or potential overmedication for the patient. By marking the original prescription as void, pharmacies adhere to legal requirements and best practices in the management of prescriptions.
