A

time it should be administred

Answer 2

The correction option is B)

Patient's emergency contact information.

Step-by-step explanation:

When giving a prescription, the patient's emergency contact information which includes their full names and addresses must be included.

Other items which must form part of a proper prescription are:

• the patient’s date of birth
• the quantity of medicine to be supplied to the patient (in words and numerals)
• the prescribers name, mobile number, address, and signature
• the date on which the prescription was given.

The above requirements are required by law and serve to prevent and or reduce to the barest possible minimum the abuse of drugs and it's effects on the society.

Cheers!
