When is mandatory consultation required in the context described in the text?

Before prescribing antibiotics
When a patient is at high risk for medication abuse
Before prescribing over-the-counter medications
When prescribing to children under 12

The correct answer is: When a patient is at high risk for medication abuse

In the context described in the text, mandatory consultation is required when a patient is at high risk for medication abuse. This means that the other options - prescribing antibiotics, over-the-counter medications, and prescribing to children under 12 - do not necessarily require mandatory consultation. While it may be good practice to consult with a patient before prescribing antibiotics or over-the-counter medications, it is not mandatory. And while it may be necessary to consult with a parent or guardian before prescribing medication to a child under 12, this is not considered mandatory consultation in the context described in the text. The only situation in which mandatory consultation is required is when a patient is at high risk for medication abuse, which means they may have a history of substance abuse or other risk factors that make them more susceptible to medication misuse. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
