Final answer:

In the ER, when the RPH is not on duty, the completed prepackaged label by a Practitioner or Nurse must include the name of the procedure, confirmation of the counts, specimen labeling, and equipment issues.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the ER, when the Registered Pharmacist (RPH) is not on duty, the prepackaged label that is completed by a Practitioner or Nurse must include several important pieces of information. These include:

  1. The name of the procedure as recorded
  2. Confirmation that the needle, sponge, and instrument counts are complete (or not applicable)
  3. Verification that any specimen is correctly labeled, including with the patient's name
  4. Identification of any issues with equipment that need to be addressed

These requirements ensure that the prepackaged label contains accurate and essential information for the patient's care and treatment.
