What information must be recorded by the transferring pharmacy during a prescription transfer?

  1. Only the date of transfer

  2. The name of the patient and the drug only

  3. The name and address of the receiving pharmacy and the name of the receiving pharmacist or intern

  4. Just the name of the receiving pharmacist

The correct answer is: The name and address of the receiving pharmacy and the name of the receiving pharmacist or intern

During a prescription transfer, the transferring pharmacy is responsible for recording the name and address of the receiving pharmacy, as well as the name of the receiving pharmacist or intern. This is important in order to establish a record of where the prescription has been transferred and who is now responsible for filling and dispensing it. Only recording the date of transfer (A) or just the name of the receiving pharmacist (D) would not provide enough information for tracking purposes. Additionally, while recording the name of the patient and the drug (B) may be helpful, it is not required as part of the transfer process. Therefore, the most complete and accurate answer is option C.
