Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

What information is required on a patient profile?

1. Only patient name and address

2. Patient and prescription information

3. Only prescription information

4. Patient financial information

The correct answer is: Patient and prescription information

A patient profile must contain both patient and prescription information to ensure safe and accurate dispensing of medications. Only including the patient's name and address would not provide enough information for pharmacists to properly evaluate and fill a prescription. While patient financial information may be necessary for insurance purposes, it is not required on a patient profile. Including only prescription information would also not provide a complete picture of the patient's health history, potential drug interactions, and medication allergies.
