BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE WRITING A PRESCRIPTION.
DEFINITION A PRESCRIPTION IS A VERBAL, WRITTEN OR ELECTRONIC ORDER FROM A PRACTITIONER OR DESIGNATED AGENT TO A PHARMACIST FOR A PARTICULAR MEDICATION FOR SPECIFIC PATIENT
A systematic approach advocated by the World Health Organization can help minimize poor-quality and erroneous prescribing. This six- step approach to prescribing suggests that the physician should: (1) evaluate and clearly define the patient's problem; (2) specify the therapeutic objective; (3) select the appropriate drug therapy; (4) initiate therapy with appropriate details and consider nonpharmacologic therapies. (5) give information, instructions, and warnings; (6) evaluate therapy regularly (e.g., monitor treatment results, consider discontinuation of the drug).
