Answer 1

The correct completion for the statement regarding an electronic logbook for refills would be 'verification' of each day's data and 'authorization' of the daily statements by the dispensing pharmacist.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electronic logbook for refills is acceptable provided that the pharmacist performs a verification process of EACH day's original and refill data and authorization of the daily "statements" confirming the accuracy of the data for prescriptions dispensed. The required record-keeping includes:

• Confirmation that the original and refill data for prescriptions dispensed by EACH pharmacist were reviewed for accuracy.
• The name of each dispensing pharmacist.
• A signature and date by each dispensing pharmacist.

The correct answers to complete the given statement would therefore be:

a) Verification, authorization

This process ensures the integrity of the prescription records and compliance with health regulations. It is an example of checks and balances in pharmacy practice, assuring that the medications are dispensed properly and that the records reflect this accurately.
