PTCB exam book
Which of the following would be found on an institutional medication order, but not on a retail
pharmacy prescription?
a. patient name
b. the patient's diagnosis
c. drug dosage schedule
d. both b and c
d. both b and c
the paper prescription contains only the information needed to fill the prescription, dosage directions,
and information given by the patient. Therefore, the diagnosis and dosage schedule would not be
included; however, they would be found on a hospital order


Which of the following must be present on the prescription at the time of acceptance?
a. the prescriber's signature
b. the exact name, strength, and form of the drug
c. the age of the patient
d. both a and b
d. both a and b
When the prescription is received, it must contain information relating to the patient and prescriber.
Information such as the patient's address, age, and allergies may be taken at the time of acceptance


Which of the following may the technician not perform?
a. accept refill requests by telephone
b. refill authorizations
c. accept prescriptions by electronic means
d. both b and c
d. both b and c
the technician may fill prescriptions that have been properly documented (ex. hard copy
prescription). Since refills are made on a previous filled (documented) prescription, and prescriptions
are normally filled off of hard-copy prescriptions, the technician may do both of these. However,
prescriptions submitted by electronic means must be transferred to a hard-copy from by the
pharmacist (or intern) before filling, and refill authorizations may only be taken by the pharmacist.


Which of following is required on a retail prescription but not on a hospital order?
a. the generic name of the drug dispensed
b. the strength of the drug dispensed
c. the DEA number of the prescriber
d. the name of the prescriber
c. the DEA number of the prescriber
the drug information on a hospital order is essentially the same as the paper prescription; however, a
physician practicing in a hospital will have a DEA number on file or may use the DEA number assigned
to the hospital. therefore, the DEA number is not required


You receive a prescription written by a Dr. Smith. The DEA number is AU1234567. You should take the
following action:
a. fill the prescription
b. call Dr. Smith's office
c. alert the pharmacist
d. give the prescription back to the patient, as it is invalid
c. alert the pharmacist

,the DEA number always starts with two letters: one represents the status of the prescriber, and the
second is the first letter of the last name. Therefore, since the DEA number starts with AU, and the
prescriber's name is Smith, the number is invalid. You should alert the pharmacist.


Prescriptions in the pharmacy may be received:
a. from a patient, directly
b. by fax
c. by e-mail
d. all of the above
d. all of the above
prescriptions may be received by fax, modem (email), and telephone. The patient may also bring in
the prescription.


Prescriptions received by electronic means:
a. may be filled directly
b. may be taken by the technician
c. must be transferred to paper (a hard copy) before being filled
d. prescriptions are not taken by electronic means
c. must be transferred to paper (a hard copy) before being filled
all the prescriptions dispensed from the pharmacy must be documented. This means that all must
have some sort of paper prescription. Thus, prescriptions received over the telephone, by fax, or by e-
mail must be transcribed to a hard copy by the pharmacist before billing.


You receive a prescription for a secobarbital a (C-II), which was written two weeks ago and appears to
be altered. You should:
a. fill the prescription
b. consult the pharmacist
c. refuse to fill the prescription and give it back to the patient
d. call the prescriber for authorization
b. consult the pharmacist
prescriptions for controlled substances must be filled within three days of writing depending on the
state. Therefore, the prescription is no longer valid. The problem should be transferred to the
pharmacist


You receive a prescription for a drug that is available only by brand name. The prescriber has written
the generic name on the prescription. You should:
a. call to see if a generic is available
b. fill the prescription and consult the pharmacist
c. tell the patient that the prescription cannot be filled
d. call the prescriber for authorization to dispense the brand-name drug
b. fill the prescription and consult the pharmacist
a prescription that is written for a generic drug may always be filled with a proprietary (brand) name.
Thus, you may fill the prescription with the brand name; however, the pharmacist may wish to explain
the situation to the patient.


You receive a prescription for Roxicet. You may enter the following data on the prescription form:
a. the address of the patient
b. the age of the patient
c. all of the above
d. none of the above
d. none of the above
no information is to be added or changed on a prescription for a schedule II drug
