Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Can refills be added to a M3P prescription over the phone?

1. Yes, if verified with the doctor

2. No, but partfill can be done

3. Yes, for any M3P prescription

4. No, and no verbal orders for M3P

The correct answer is: No, and no verbal orders for M3P

There could be several reasons why options A, B, and C are incorrect. Option A mentions verifying with the doctor which may not be necessary if the prescription has already been authorized for refills. Option B suggests a partial refill, but the question is specifically asking about adding refills. Option C is too broad and may not apply to all M3P prescriptions. Therefore, the most likely reason why the other options are incorrect is that M3P prescriptions typically do not allow for refills to be added over the phone or through verbal orders. This is likely due to safety and security concerns, as well as ensuring proper documentation and communication between the doctor and the pharmacy. It is important to carefully follow the protocol and processes set forth by the pharmacy when handling M3P prescriptions.
