Rhode Island Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence (MPJE) Practice Exam

What needs to be recorded for the remaining fills of a partial CII prescription?

1. Date only

2. Doctor's initials required

3. Amount sent in the PDMP

4. No documentation needed

The correct answer is: Amount sent in the PDMP

In the context of handling partial fills for a controlled substance prescription, particularly for Schedule II drugs (CII), it is crucial to maintain thorough documentation for regulatory compliance and patient safety. Recording the amount sent in the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) is essential when a partial fill occurs. The PDMP tracks dispensing data for controlled substances and ensures that healthcare professionals have access to pertinent prescribing and dispensing information. This can help in monitoring for possible misuse or diversion of medications. By entering the amount of medication dispensed in a partial fill into the PDMP, pharmacists fulfill both legal requirements and contribute to a broader initiative aimed at combating prescription drug abuse. The other options are less comprehensive and do not meet legal standards for documentation associated with controlled substances. Thus, recording the amount sent in the PDMP provides necessary accountability and supports continued patient care through effective medication management.
