NURS 6630 Week 10 Assignment Writing Prescriptions

Electronic medical records systems are not always available, so the importance of knowing how to write an accurate prescription on a prescription pad is imperative. Writing prescription medications is something you will be doing day after day, patient after patient. There are special considerations depending on the DEA schedule of controlled medication you are writing. This Assignment will start preparing you for this task and understanding.

Note: Written prescriptions for pharmacies may differ from chart orders for hospitalizations. For this Assignment, you are writing outpatient prescriptions for pharmacies.

To Prepare:

• Review the Required Learning Resources.
• Review the correct way/order to write a prescription.
• Consider how prescriptions might be properly written for specific patients.

The Assignment:

Create prescriptions using the patient information, medications, and indications listed below. Your goal is to demonstrate the accurate way to write a prescription that a patient would present to a pharmacy. The prescription should be written and signed. You will develop your mock prescriptions in a word document to include everything one might find on a printed prescription pad. You will write one prescription per page.

To write your prescriptions, please use the following patient information:

• Patient Name: Jane Doe
