Prescription Writing Example Controlled Substances
Some APRN’s print Prescribing Authority /DEA/DPS number on the blank form but leave a space and fill in numbers when appropriate, which may be safer option.
If several physicians in the same facility delegate prescriptive authority to you then all their names must be on the form. You circle the name of the one who is delegating at the time the script is written. The physicians may also wish you write in their DEA, DPS#’s as appropriate. Your protocol or collaborative agreement requires the name and signature of your primary physician and in large practices may include names who may delegate to you in the absence of the primary. You do have to keep special documentation when using other than the primary delegating physician. This is a BOM requirement.
