Question: 1 / 400

What differentiates an inpatient prescription from an outpatient prescription regarding required information?

Inpatient prescriptions require only the drug name and dosage

Outpatient prescriptions do not require the patient's address

Inpatient prescriptions need the hospital room number; outpatient needs patient's address and refills

An inpatient prescription typically requires more detailed information compared to an outpatient prescription. This is because the patient is being treated and monitored within the hospital, so the hospital room number is necessary for proper administration and record keeping. Outpatient prescriptions, on the other hand, may require the patient's address and refill information because the patient may not be regularly visiting the hospital for their treatment. Option A is incorrect because the drug name and dosage are required for both inpatient and outpatient prescriptions. Option B is incorrect because the patient's address may still be required for verification and communication purposes in an outpatient setting. Option D is incorrect because as stated, inpatient and outpatient prescriptions do differ in terms of required information.
