Which of the following can a pharmacist change on a Schedule II prescription after consulting the prescriber?

  1. Patient’s name

  2. Prescriber’s DEA number

  3. Drug quantity

  4. Prescriber’s signature

The correct answer is: Drug quantity

A pharmacist can change the drug quantity on a Schedule II prescription after consulting the prescriber. This is because Schedule II drugs have stricter regulations and limitations compared to other prescription drugs, and any changes made to the prescription must be done by a licensed prescriber or under their direct supervision. The patient's name and prescriber's signature must remain the same, as they are essential for verifying the prescription. The prescriber's DEA number is also a unique identifier and must remain unchanged. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
