How soon must a written confirming prescription be received at the pharmacy after an emergency telephoned Schedule II prescription?

Within 3 days
Within 5 days
Within 7 days
Within 10 days

The correct answer is: Within 7 days

After an emergency telephoned Schedule II prescription is made, a written confirming prescription must be received by the pharmacy within 7 days. This is to ensure that the medication is prescribed and dispensed appropriately. The other options (A, B, and D) are incorrect because they exceed the 7-day time frame and may result in delays or lack of oversight in the prescribing and dispensing process. For example, if the written prescription is not received within 7 days, the patient may run out of medication and not have a refill available, leading to potential health complications. Therefore, it is important to adhere to the 7-day time frame to ensure proper care for the patient.
