What items may NEVER be changed on a C-II prescription?

Patient name Drug prescribed Prescriber's signature All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

When evaluating Schedule II prescriptions, certain elements must remain unaltered to preserve the integrity and traceability of the order. The patient’s name, the specific drug prescribed, and the prescriber’s signature are non-changeable because altering any of these could misidentify the patient, change or misrepresent the medication ordered, or allow someone to falsely claim authorization from a prescriber. Keeping these three items fixed ensures that the prescription accurately reflects who is receiving the drug, what drug was ordered, and who authorized it. If a correction is needed, it should generally involve obtaining a new prescription or direct authorization from the prescriber, rather than altering an existing one.
