Question: 1 / 400

What additional information is required on a prescription for a controlled substance when prescribed by a PA?

DEA number of the PA

Supervising physician's name and 'PA' behind the physician assistant's name

Controlled substances are medications that have a high potential for misuse or abuse. In order to ensure proper prescribing of these medications, there are specific regulations and additional information that must be included on a prescription. Option A is incorrect because the DEA number is only required for prescribing physicians, not physician assistants. Option C is also incorrect because the pharmacy's license number is not required on a controlled substance prescription. Option D is incorrect because the patient's Social Security Number should never be included on a prescription for privacy reasons. The only correct option, B, includes the name of the PA's supervising physician and indicates that the prescription is being issued by a physician assistant. This helps to ensure that the prescription is being properly monitored and supervised by a licensed physician.
