Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

A pharmacist would not be able to write a continued care prescription if the original amount of the medication has already been exceeded. This means that the patient has already received the maximum amount of the medication that was initially prescribed to them. Option A is incorrect because a continued care prescription can be written for both chronic and non-chronic conditions. Option B is also incorrect because the familiarity of the patient does not affect the pharmacist's ability to write a continued care prescription. Option D is incorrect because continued care prescriptions can be written for Schedule III drugs in certain circumstances.
